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. Phil & Simon Thompson bottled this, distilled in 1997, from the distillery's United Distillers and early Diageo era, and released it at 27 years old. The outturn was 406 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 52.3%, without dilution, American oak from the ex-Bourbon cask supplies vanilla and coconut, with eugenol adding a touch of clove. At 27 years the long maturation has deepened the spirit, the oak adding weight to its savoury core. The recorded notes run to dried hay, leafy notes, malt sweetness, fresh oak, an oily texture and tobacco.
