The Single Cask Ltd.Inchgower

This 14-year-old Inchgower from The Single Cask Ltd. is a single malt Scotch whisky drawn from a first-fill bourbon barrel and bottled at a robust 55.8% ABV. Independent bottlings like this often show a distillery in a more direct, cask-led style, with no need for dilution before bottling.

For a novice drinker, expect a whisky where bourbon cask influence is likely to bring familiar notes such as vanilla, oak, and sweetness alongside the distillery character. The high strength means it may taste more intense and concentrated, so a little water can help open it up.
