- Description
- Inchgower's April 1998 distillate was aged for 20 years before Hunter Laing bottled it in 2018 as part of the Old Malt Cask series' 20th anniversary. Inchgower carries Speyside's typical orchard and floral notes, deepened by two decades in wood into something more rounded and mature. The bottler's approach emphasizes the natural colour and cask-derived character without additional influence. A straightforward expression of how time develops a respected Speyside distillery.
