Bottle #インチガワー(INCHGOWER)
A matured flavor that masks the nuances. Inchgower INCHGOWER 1974-2006 BBR #877 46% The aroma is elegant and matured, slightly estery, with notes of pear, glossy orange, seasoned barley, hay, and oak. When tasted, it starts with a gentle mouthfeel that expands into a rich flavor of dried orange with skin, a pronounced sweetness, depth with a pleasant tannic and slightly woody oak finish. [Good/Very Good] This is a diluted bottling of Inchgower 1974, bottled by BBR in 2006, with approximately 32 years of aging. It has a very matured, elegant and estery aroma with clear fruitiness. When tasted, it is more aromatic and full-bodied than expected from its alcohol content, with a subtle woody bitterness that contributes to the body rather than being off-putting. It has a strong, characteristic Inchgower flavor that adds depth to the matured notes, achieving a good balance between the lightness of aging and its richness. Thanks to dilution, it is well-rounded and an interesting malt with a good finish. #Inchgower (INCHGOWER)
