About
A coastal Speyside distillery near the fishing town of Buckie on the Moray Firth, unusual among Speyside distilleries for its maritime proximity. Founded in 1871 by Alexander Wilson, Inchgower's seaside location gives its malt a subtle saline, briny character atypical of inland Speyside. The spirit is medium-bodied with honey, dried fruit, and that distinctive maritime edge. Principal blending malt for Bell's blended Scotch. Official single malt bottlings are rare -- the Flora & Fauna 14-year-old is the standard expression. Independent bottlings from Gordon & MacPhail and others have helped build the distillery's reputation among enthusiasts. Inchgower represents the borderland where Speyside meets the Moray coast, producing a malt that defies easy regional classification.
