Inchgower – 18 Year Old 2007/2026 James Eadie Refill Hogshead #801639

This is an 18 year old Inchgower single malt from Speyside, bottled in 2026 by James Eadie from a refill hogshead in which it has matured since 2007. It comes from 407 bottles. Inchgower stands on a rise above the fishing town of Buckie on Scotland's north-east coast, and the label recalls the history of the region and its smugglers. The nose is bright citrus and golden honey with fine oak spice. The palate brings creamy caramel and toasted almonds over deep malt sweetness. The finish carries a subtle maritime saltiness.
