- Description
- Inchgower's 12-year-old from the 1980s, bottled during the Bell's era, captures Speyside character from a now-independent distillery. The profile features typical Speyside malty sweetness with subtle coastal influence—brine and heather notes—and the clean, grainy character of 1980s distillery bottlings. The palate is medium-bodied and straightforward, reflecting the restraint of Bell's bottling standards. This vintage appeals to Speyside enthusiasts and those exploring the history of independent Scottish distilleries.
