Inchgower – 1974 22 Year Old Rare Malts Selection (75cl, 55.7%)

This Inchgower was distilled in 1974 and bottled in September 1997 at 22 years old, as part of Diageo's Rare Malts Selection. It comes from the Moray region of Scotland and is bottled at 55.7% ABV in a 75cl bottle. The nose shows yellow fruits and fresh green grass, with herbal notes and hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is flowery and oily, with mineral and salty touches alongside milk chocolate and toffee, then ripe yellow fruit, citrus, pepper and cloves. The finish is tannic and woody, with a lingering light floral and peppery note.
