Description
Built in 1871 near the fishing port of Buckie, Inchgower makes a briny, nutty malt that has long been a backbone of Bell's. Maltbarn bottled this, distilled in 2000, and released it at 20 years old in its No. 164 range. The outturn was 178 bottles, released for the Netherlands.
A quick mashing regime and a warmer second water give Inchgower the savoury, saline character that earns it the Manzanilla of Speyside nickname. This bottling matured in an Oloroso sherry cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 50.7%, without dilution, the Oloroso butt drives fig and date, the spirit's saline edge cutting through the sherry sweetness. At 20 years the cask has had time to round off the spirit's coastal edge and pull the flavours together. The recorded notes run to a fragrant lift, citrus, honey, a nutty note, seasoned oak and a faint plastic note.
