This single cask bottling of a 21-year-old Inchgower was produced by the independent bottler Valinch & Mallet in the Lost Drams Collection series. The whisky was distilled in 1997, matured in a bourbon hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 2018 with 143 individually numbered bottles.
Inchgower is a whisky distillery near Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland, which was run by the town of Buckie itself from 1930. It was sold to Arthur Bell in 1936 and is now owned by Diageo.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
