Inchgower Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold glow and mahogany edges.

Nose

Sherried richness unfurls in an opulent bouquet: dried figs, prune and plum with glazed orange; dark chocolate and toffee drift over toasted almond and oak. Cinnamon and clove spice mingle with a waxy lemon edge, while a faint espresso lingers. A maritime hint and mature fruit finish reveal a stately Speyside malt at cask-strength depth.

Palate

Opulent and robust, this Inchgower opens with velvet notes of fig and raisin, brightened by orange zest and swathed in dark chocolate and toasted almond. Sherry maturity yields dried fruit and spice—cinnamon and clove—over a sturdy oak backbone. At 56.5% ABV, it finishes with a warming peppery lift, long and coastal, hinting at caramel and sea salt.

Finish

Long and opulent, the finish coats the palate with dark dried fruits, orange zest, and cocoa, stitched with treacle and warming spice from the sherry cask. Rich oak and coffee bean linger, then a coastal, saline note threads through the warmth, leaving a lingering, refined glow.
