Tasting Notes
Nose: Enticing hints of ripe fig, toffee, and a faint coastal brine, underpinned by a soft malt sweetness
Palate: A pleasing fusion of dark fruit compote, milk chocolate, and a light nutmeg spice, framed by Inchgower’s gentle maritime influence
Finish: Medium-length and comforting, leaving lingering Marsala fruitiness, subtle oak spice, and a touch of sea air salinity.

In 1966, the distillery significantly expanded its production capacity by increasing its stills from two to four, enhancing its ability to meet the growing demand for high-quality whisky. Today, the majority of Inchgower Distillery’s malt whisky is dedicated to premium blended Scotch whiskies, contributing to some of Scotland’s most renowned blends.
