The Flora and Fauna series is a sadly discontinued range of whiskies, each with an illustration of an animal on the bottle. This Inchgower is very rare.
The nose is quite light and delicate. There is a zesty tang with notes of sugary citrus, hints of stemmy hay and a gentle breeze pushing barley in a Summer field. Tones of blossom and apple peel with cocoa. The palate is fresh with hay and petals, notes of arak and well-balanced tannins. There are some spicy notes with cystallized stem ginger. The finish is of medium length with spice and a tangy citrus note.

Floral definitely. Faunal not so much. Beautifully sweet, but not cloying. Honey-gold in colour and rich floral honey flavours. Incredibly rounded with a great aftertaste.
I love this whisky. Sometimes referred to as a Speyside malt, those expecting the usual Speyside flavours will be surprised, but pleasantly so, I think. The nose is sweet with some spiciness and the taste starts the same way but the comes the dry saltiness of a coastal malt which reverberates for a long time.
My favorite among the whiskies I have tasted!
