Inchgower 13 Year Old 2007 SMWS Single Oloroso Cask 18.39 Vamos A La Playa Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2021) 70cl
1 of 245 bottles produced
1st Fill Oloroso matured
Inchgower - Located just outside the fishing port of Buckie, Inchgower is a defiantly coastal style of single malt. No other new make reaches the same level of intense spiciness which is perceived on the tongue as salinity.
The spicy character is driven initially by a hotter than usual second water during the quick mashing regime which cuts back any overt nuttiness. Fermentation is short and the steeply angled lyne arms on the stills help to capture weightier elements. An underlying waxiness flashes a signal to another coastal plant, Clynelish.
TASTING NOTES
We imagined sitting on the Playa de Sanlucar de Barrameda barbequing on a warm evening the famous king prawns caught off the coast of Cadiz. As we waited for them to be ready, we toasted each other with a Manzanilla Pasada. A well-aged Sherry with those characteristic notes on the palate of almonds, orange peel, a hint of wood and a subtle salinity in the finish. After reduction, an ‘old-style’ scent of hay essential oil with distinct sweet hay, barnyard and dry wood nuances next to candied rose petals and salted caramels as we shared sour cream and chive pretzels. After eleven years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill Spanish oak Oloroso hogshead.
