Inchgower 20, 2000-2020, Sherry Cask, 50.7% – Maltbarn

Maltbarn is a bit of a blind-spot for me, in regards to bottlers. I know they are often well received, and are at the top end of what money buys in regards to value for money, if I’m not mistaken. … Continue reading

Inchgower 1982-2011, 29yo, 54.6% – Duncan Taylor

Ah, Inchgower 1982. A whisky that got popular because a lot of it tastes like Clynelish from the same era. At least, in my circles that’s what it’s famous for. It is also why I bought this bottle a year … Continue reading
