Master of Malt Inchgower 29 yo, 1982 vintage

Last year MoM released a lovely version of Inchgower everyone were raving about, and sadly I did not sample that one. This is in fact the first ever Inchgower notes features on Whisky Israel, so let’s party…

Some info before we dive in :This wee dram was distilled on the 30th June , 1982 and was aged in a single refill hogshead for 29 years before bottling on the 22nd November 2011. At natural cask strength there are only 190 such bottles around…

Inchgower 29 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt) , 53.90% , £69.95inchgower-29-year-old-single-cask-master-of-malt-whisky

Nose: Starts very sweet and malty  with some fruity notes as well : Kirsch, Berries. Also vanilla and coconut with Spices and Coriander.
Palate: A mix of spicy stuff  and spices. Backed by the malty backbone. Ginger cookies, berries too. Some wood resin.
Finish: Ending on Cocoa powder. Praline.

All in all a very enjoyable single cask , with and interesting profile, nothing out of the ordinary but at that price point, it delivers and is a good value for the money.

Score: 87/100

Thanks to the chaps over at MoM for the sample
