This single cask bottling of a 14-year-old Inchgower was produced by independent bottler The Caskhound (Tilo Schnabel) in the Castles of Scotland series as Part 2 / 2022 and features Huntly Castle. The whisky was distilled in 2008, matured in an ex-bourbon cask and received a finish in an ex-islay bourbon quarter cask for 1.5 years before being bottled at cask strength in 2022.
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.
