Description
Inchgower sits on the Moray Firth coast outside Buckie, a Speyside distillery in name whose malt is salty and savoury in a way the region's usually are not. Sansibar bottled this, distilled in 1991, from the distillery's United Distillers and early Diageo era, and released it at 24 years old in its Spirits Shop' Selection range. The outturn was 132 bottles, released for Germany.
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 ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 51.8%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon barrel adds vanilla from vanillin and a coconut note from oak lactones, over a light cereal sweetness. At 24 years the long maturation has deepened the spirit, the oak adding weight to its savoury core.
