The majority of Inchgower heads to the blenders. It’s rarely seen as a single malt, except through the Flora and Fauna series, and independent bottlers like us.
Inchgower has always been a significant player in blends, Bell’s in particular. Their own distilleries all shared variations on the ‘nutty-spicy' theme. Today it also a significant role within the Johnnie Walker.
No other new make reaches the same level of intense spiciness which is usually perceived on the tongue as salinity.
This beautiful briny 12 Year Old has been matured in the finest hand-picked refill hogshead and finished in PX Octaves.
We’re expecting just 337 bottles.
NOSE
Rich aromas of ripe plums immediately draw you in. There’s a hint of fresh coastal air too.
TASTE
Notes of buttery buns, complemented by a subtle warmth of black pepper, finishing with a lingering sweetness of honeycomb and dark raisins.
ABOUT THE LABEL
Inchgower comes from Scots Gaelic for ‘island of the goats’. So, for unknown reasons, Goat Island in the middle of Niagara Falls was our inspiration for our original label, with a goat on Goat Island looking across to Canada, over Horseshoe Falls
Our reimagined label brings the goat front and centre, and we’ve added some little bells to it’s collar. An Oyster Catcher has appeared too - it probably thought our label was missing one…
