Professional reviews

BOW (89)

Adelphi unquestionably ranks among Scotland's most adored independent bottlers, a fact clearly reflected in their consistently sold-out offerings. Occasionally, however, there's the privilege of hand-selecting a barrel for an exclusive "own" bottling, as was the case for Whisky Import Netherlands.

At Whisky Import Netherlands headquarters, the Inchgower distillery holds a special place in theirr hearts. It possesses an abundance of aroma, flavor, and character, all masterfully balanced to make it a contender among the whisky elite.

Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:

Appearance: A rich, dark red-brown copper hue.

Aroma: Upon the first inhalation, your senses will be greeted with profound exotic spices, the aroma of freshly brewed espresso, dark chocolate drizzled with cherry sauce, and an ensemble of dark red fruit preserves.

Taste: Prepare to be amazed by the richness and impeccable equilibrium of this whisky. A drop or two of water reveals the oak's spicy, peppery undertones harmonizing with the luscious notes of dark red cherries. The experience is akin to indulging in chocolate with a delicate mascarpone accompaniment, truly satisfying.

Finish: Even in the finish, the spices persist, interweaving with espresso and subtle chocolate nuances. A delightfully prolonged aftertaste continues to caress the palate, leaving a lasting impression of indulgence.
