Introducing the InchDairnie 2017 Sample Room Range Duty Paid Sample Balgonie, a limited edition single distillery Smoke & Rye Blended Scotch whisky. Distilled at the renowned InchDairnie Distillery in Fife in December 2017, this unique whisky has been matured for 6 years in Virgin and Refill casks. The first batch, comprising only 390 bottles, was captured in February 2024 as Duty Paid samples, making it a true collector's item. The Balgonie style of whisky is distinguished by its complex flavor profile, characterized by spiciness, oaky sweetness, and dry mainland peat smoke. Bottled at a remarkable cask strength of 58.4% ABV, this whisky retains all its natural qualities, being non-chill filtered and free from added color. Charles MacLean's expert tasting notes describe the Balgonie as having a deep gold color with moderate beading, and a mellow, rounded nose devoid of prickle. The top notes are complemented by faint oaky hints, with a subtle presence of mossy smoke when diluted with a drop of water. The palate reveals a fresh, sweet taste, followed by an elegant smoky finish. Exclusively available at The Whisky Shop, this limited edition release is the second in a series of three innovative bottlings from InchDairnie, following the acclaimed RyeLaw. Crafted with a unique blend of 74% rye whisky and 26% peated single malt, the Balgonie is bottled straight from the cask at its natural strength of 58.4% ABV.
The Balgonie is unique due to its blend of 74% rye whisky and 26% peated single malt, its natural cask strength of 58.4% ABV, and its maturation in both Virgin and Refill casks.
