Inchgower 21 Year Old Cadenhead's

Inchgower 35 yo (1975/2011)

Another one from the Diageo stall, an important ingredient of both Johnnie Walker and Bell's blends, but still fairly obscure as a single malt. Today I'm trying a festival bottling from the well known German whisky festival in Limburg: The Whisky Fair. This 35yo was the festival bottling of 2011 and matured in a bourbon hogshead.

Inchgower 28 Year Old 1982 Malts of Scotland cask 6969

Inchgower 6 Year Old 2015 Buds & Barrels

Buds & Barrels has its very first real own release! Congratulations Tom. It was a young Inchgower that matured on a PX Quarter Cask, which immediately explains the inviting color.

Inchgower 30 Year Old 1982 A.D. Rattray cask 6964

Rattray kept the cask for a little longer than Bladnoch Forum or MoS. They bottled it on 29th October 2012, making it a 30 Year Old Inchgower. The level of alcohol suggests...
