Founded in 1971, the Inchgower distillery was closed between 1903 and 1930. In 1936, it doubled its production capacity, moving from two to four stills with very curved lyne arms designed to reduce alcohol reflux as far as possible. The heart of the run contains a high percentage of tail spirit that creates a powerful and spicy single malt. With herbaceous, lemony, honeyed, rustic and even salty tones, and keen to fully satisfy its need for hegemony, the malted barley has no qualms in exploring every nook and cranny of this young – and extremely fruity and spicy – bottling’s palette of flavours and aromas.210
TASTING NOTES
Nose: the lively initial nose wavers between cut grass, green walnut and malted barley. Allowed to breathe, it becomes lemony and honeyed.
Palate: The elegant attack on the palate is fruity (pear) and vanilla. Malted barley quickly takes centre stage in the flavour palette. The mid-palate is spicy (star anise, nutmeg) and tangy (orange, grapefruit).
Finish: The salty finish is also roasted (coffee) and medicinal (ointment).
ABV 40%
