Inchgower 12 Year Old 2009 is a richly characterful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by James Eadie for their respected Single Cask series. Distilled in 2009 and double matured in a refill Oloroso sherry butt (#348039), this elegant release was bottled in 2022, showcasing a beautifully balanced combination of coastal distillery character and refined sherry influence.
Inchgower’s naturally robust and slightly salty spirit style works exceptionally well with sherry maturation. The refill Oloroso butt enhances the whisky with layers of dried fruits, chocolate, and soft spice while allowing the distillery’s malty and subtly maritime profile to remain prominent. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a nuanced and rewarding Speyside malt.
Nose: Soft toffee and vanilla, cherry marzipan and almonds, balanced with some floral notes and a hint of the sea.
Taste: Salty, nutty and dry, with toffee, dark silky chocolate and walnuts.
