Description
On the Cromarty side of the Moray Firth, Inchgower distils a coastal, savoury malt that has fed Bell's and other Diageo blends for decades. Maltbarn bottled this, distilled in 1997, from the distillery's United Distillers and early Diageo era, and released it at 25 years old in its No. 206 range. The outturn was 151 bottles, released for Belgium.
Inchgower's four stills carry steeply angled lyne arms that hold back the heavier, oilier vapours, part of why the malt comes out nutty, waxy and faintly saline. This bottling matured in an Oloroso sherry cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 51.7%, without dilution, the Oloroso sherry cask layers raisin and fig from its melanoidins over a drying, nutty oak grip. At 25 years the long maturation has deepened the spirit, the oak adding weight to its savoury core.
