The Inchgower 1990 Diageo Special Releases 2018 is an exceptional 27-year-old whisky, bottled by Diageo as part of their prestigious Special Releases series. This limited edition, one of only 8,544 bottles, has been matured in Refill American Oak Hogsheads and is presented at a robust 55.3% ABV in a 700ml bottle. Inchgower, a notable yet often overlooked Speyside distillery, plays a crucial role in Diageo's blends, particularly Bell's. Known for its robust quality and structure, Inchgower's spirit excels in both long aging and sherry casks, but truly shines in refill bourbon casks, where its clean, muscular profile develops beautifully over extended maturation periods.
This release, the first from Inchgower in Diageo's Special Releases series, exemplifies the distillery's fruity and salty spirit. Located near the coast, the distillers attribute a unique salty tang to the influence of the sea. Nicknamed 'The Manzanilla of Speyside', this complex whisky transitions from a sweet start to a crisply aromatic and drying experience with a beautifully bitter-sweet finish.
This whisky is unique due to its 27-year maturation in Refill American Oak Hogsheads, its robust and complex flavor profile, and its status as the first Inchgower release in Diageo's Special Releases series.
The coastal location of the Inchgower distillery imparts a distinctive salty tang to the whisky, as the distillers believe that the sea air influences the spirit.
Expect a complex and flavorful experience with a mix of spice, fruit, and oak influences, including notes of hazelnut, coconut, malty biscuit, peach, and orange.
As a passionate whisky enthusiast, I find the Inchgower 1990 Diageo Special Releases 2018 to be an extraordinary expression from this underrated Speyside distillery. Its 27-year maturation in Refill American Oak Hogsheads has produced a whisky that is beautifully balanced with layers of complexity. From its fruity and salty aroma to its spicy and sweet palate, and its long, lingering finish, this whisky delivers a refined and memorable drinking experience. Truly a gem in Diageo's Special Releases series.
