- Description
- Inchgower's 1997 vintage has spent 27 years in refill wood, developing the distillery's signature creamy richness without excessive oak influence. Vanilla fudge and pineapple dominate the nose, followed by sultanas, soft fruit and Scottish tablet, while the palate remains soft and fruit-forward. At 56.1% ABV, this First Editions release captures Speyside at its most approachable and elegant, suited to those seeking maturity without harshness.
