Description
The Signatory Vintage INCHGOWER 13 Years Old 1st Fill Marsala Cask Strength #101 2011 59.8% Vol. 0.7 l is a powerful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that combines the distinctive distillery characteristics of Inchgower with exceptional sweet wine cask maturation. Bottled by independent bottler Signatory Vintage, this single malt comes from the Inchgower Distillery, which is known for its spicy, slightly maritime and structured style. Distilled in 2011 and matured for 13 years, this whisky spent its maturation period in a 1st Fill Marsala Cask, cask number #101, resulting in an intense cask finish and high aromatic density.
At 59.8% vol., this cask strength whisky was bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration and without colouring. The first-fill marsala maturation gives the Inchgower single malt depth, sweetness and a vinous component without masking the pithy distillery character. The high-quality tin box emphasises the limited character of this bottling. Overall, this Speyside single malt presents itself as an intense, expressive whisky with a clear cask character, structure and long-lasting presence.

The combination with mature hard cheese, blue cheese or dark chocolate with a high cocoa content is equally harmonious. Opened with a few drops of water, this cask strength Speyside single malt unfolds additional facets and ensures a long-lasting, intense enjoyment experience.
