Distilled in 2008 and re-racked in 2023 into a first-fill bourbon barrel, this 16-year-old Speyside single malt from Inchgower shows just how indulgent refill bourbon ageing can be. One of only 221 bottles, it layers rich vanilla sweetness with bright orchard fruit and gentle spice, all wrapped in Inchgower’s signature coastal freshness.

Inchgower 16 Year Old 2008 (Tri Carragh) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Big vanilla to start, followed by buttercream, peach, orange zest, and fresh-cut grass with hints of toffee apple.

Palate: Creamy vanilla leads again, joined by tropical notes of cantaloupe melon dusted with Demerara sugar, cinnamon, and green cardamom.

Finish: Smooth and moreish, easing into vanilla fudge, sponge cake, and caramel-drizzled ice cream when water’s added.

Distillery Information

The Inchgower distillery was founded as ‘The Great Distillery of Inchgower’ in 1871 by Alexander Wilson and Co. It was intended that Inchgower would utilise the buildings and equipment of the old Tochieneal Distillery. The Inchgower distillery lies in Banffshire not far from the mouth of the River Spey and just on the outskirts of the fishing town, Buckie. The distillery was bought out by Buckie Town Council in 1936, following the bankruptcy of Alexander Wilson and Co. Two years later Arthur Bell and Sons acquired the distillery for £3,000. During the 1960s Arthur Bell and Sons renovated the distillery and installed a further two stills, doubling the total capacity to a little less than two million litres annually. They also included Inchgower Scotch whisky as a component in the popular Bells blend, the vast majority of whisky produced at the distillery, as much as 99%, is used as a blending component. In 1985, Guinness acquired the distillery, and following the merger with Grand Metropolitan, Inchgower is currently under the watchful eye of Diageo. Despite being a relatively small-scale distillery, Inchgower boasts thirteen onsite warehouses which hold up to 60,000 casks. There have been very few official releases, though independent bottlings are available.
