Description
A stunning bottling of Inchgower, forming part of Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range.
Inchgower is a coastal distillery in the Speyside region which makes a spicy style of single malt, with hot, quick mashes and short fermentation.
The spirit is sometimes compared to another coastal distillery, Clynelish. Inchgower has traditionally been part of the Johnnie Walker and Bell’s blends.
This 14-year-old single malt whisky is a conundrum, in which the aromatics, and even the flavour, change continually. This is a complex and interesting mix with a sweet palate and bitter finish.
Serving Suggestion: Inchgower works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and deep and a hint of toffee. After a while offers some short-crust pastry and fruit, like greengage tart or damson pie. Then it settles and becomes lighter and vaguely 'gun-metal' - a mix of metal, gun oil and cordite, but all very faint.
Palate: Sweet overall, but also curiously mouth-drying, with some salt and traces of oil.
Finish: A saccharine-bitter finish that leaves an aftertaste of almonds.
