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. A.D. Rattray selected this single cask, distilled in 1982, from Inchgower's years under Arthur Bell & Sons, and released it at 30 years old in its Individual Cask Bottling range. Single cask 6964 gave 208 bottles, released for Germany.
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 ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 56.3%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol lending toffee. After 30 years in wood this is an old Inchgower, the cask now a dominant voice over the surviving saline character. The recorded notes run to fresh orchard fruit and green, leafy notes.
