Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: rich, nutty, and sherried; fruit compote, mixed berries in syrup, and dried dark fruits galore: cooked raisins, grilled figs, and stewed prunes; musty old oak in a dunnage warehouse and firm spices: anise, fennel, and clove; soft leather and tobacco to round things out.
Palate: still rich, nutty, and spicy with layers of fruit and other decadent things; classic old sherry cask notes: Christmas cake, leather, tobacco, chocolate and dark fruits; the chocolate has a spicy edge with a bit of cayenne heat; cinnamon hearts, maple syrup, treacle sauce, fig jam, and grape-y sherry tones; there is a creamy base layer, and a touch of tropical fruit poking its head out.
Finish: rich, fruity, and decadent with fading dried fruits, chocolate, and more hot spice; late tropical notes peek out from below the sherry.
Comment: I love it, it was my favourite whisky in the recent Hunter Laing tasting we did; reminds of me of twenty-something GlenDronachs from a decade ago; gorgeous!
Producer Tasting Note
"A rich, intense nose with dark fruits, honey and cocoa powder. Oily and mouth-coating with dark chocolate orange, toffee and light ginger. The finish is long, sweet and satisfying with a touch of drying oak."

Inchgower doesn't get enough love. It's one of Diageo's invisible distilleries, with most of its production destined for Bells Blended Whisky. Official bottlings are as nearly as scarce as hen's teeth. A tired cliche, I know, but quite apropos. Fortunately, we've seen a handful of really cool indie bottlings over the last couple years, such as this 1998 from First Editions. Not a bad price for a cask strength 23-year-old.
Only 120 bottles from Refill Hogshead HL18466.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 55.4% abv.
