About the Bottling

This Auld Goonsy release offers an individually selected view of Inchgower through a single-cask, cask-strength presentation. The combination of American oak maturation and a 12-month second-fill Oloroso sherry finish adds another layer to the distillery character without relying on a heavily seasoned sherry cask. With only 302 bottles released from cask #805697, it is a distinctive small-outturn independent bottling.

About the Distillery

Inchgower is one of Speyside's less frequently encountered names as a standalone single malt, with much of its production historically destined for blending. Independent single-cask releases therefore provide enthusiasts and collectors with a relatively uncommon opportunity to explore the distillery on its own terms, particularly at natural cask strength.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
