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. Hunter Laing, the Glasgow independent formed in the 2013 family split, selected this single cask, distilled in 1998, from the distillery's United Distillers and early Diageo era, and released it at 23 years old in its The Old Malt Cask range. Single cask HL 18473 gave 144 bottles, released for Europe.
The distillery's spirit is built for body rather than elegance, nutty and waxy with a coastal salt note unusual for Speyside. This bottling matured in an ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 50%, without dilution, the refill ex-Bourbon oak works gently, vanillin reading as vanilla and furfural as a faint toasted almond. At 23 years the long maturation has deepened the spirit, the oak adding weight to its savoury core.
