Description
Few Speyside distilleries taste of the sea, but Inchgower, near the Buckie fishing harbour, carries a briny, waxy character into almost everything it makes. John McCrae & Co. bottled this, distilled in 2008, and released it at 7 years old in its McCrae's range. The outturn was 291 bottles, released for Italy.
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 59.2%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon barrel adds vanilla from vanillin and a coconut note from oak lactones, over a light cereal sweetness. At under ten years the cask has had only a short time to work, so Inchgower's own salty, waxy spirit still leads.
