From a collaboration between Whisky Sponge and Decadent Drinks comes this 21-year-old Inchgower. It spent over two decades in a single refill hogshead before being released at cask strength, with an outturn of 178 bottles full of green and yellow fruit and the distillery’s signature waxiness.

Inchgower 21 Year Old 2001 Edition No.71 (Decadent Drinks) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Gently waxy and full of raw material character such as freshly milled grist, orchard fruits, firmer cereal tones and nicely fat, bready notes.

Palate: Firm and well-structured, with citrus rinds, white pepper, a delicate waxiness once again and a juicy, malt extract quality that once again nods towards fresh breads and beers.

Finish: Medium and still focussed on cereals, breads, mixed fruits and soft waxes.

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.
