Single Malt

Sherry
A single cask Inchgower aged for a whopping 36 years in a refill hogshead! This was distilled on the 16th September 1974 and bottled on the 9th June 2011. Absolutely stunning and cracking value for money! (If we do say so ourselves!)
Huge notes of prunes and apricots, with sour apple drop sweets and barley malt. A tangy, fruity nose with more than a suggestion of almond too. It develops and becomes more and more like a toffee apple, with nutmeg and clove-studded oranges.
Honey on hot buttered toast, warm cinnamon bagels and apple skins. It becomes more almond-like, almost like chewing on apple pips, and there’s just a dusting of confectioner’s sugar too.
Tangy and rich, buttery too. Plenty of bourbon too; charred barrels, vanilla, coffee beans…
Big, fruity and very thick whisky. A lovely winter-warmer!

Very complex fruits and a little lavender on the nose. I get the sour apple sweets! Honey, cinammon, what must be the confectioner's sugar reminded me of pink custard from school dinners! Buttery, vanilla (masses of vanilla) and toffee too. Getting something new with every sip, including many my palate is not mature enough to recognise. Wish I had another bottle!
