Inchgower 14 Year Old Flora & Fauna 43%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich and deep and a hint of toffee. After a while offers some short-crust pastry and fruit, like greengage tart or damson pie. Then it settles and becomes lighter and vaguely 'gun-metal' - a mix of metal, gun oil and cordite, but all very faint. With water, it freshens up but gives little away. For a time there is an unmistakable scent of horse chestnuts - green and nutty - but after a while, it becomes much sweeter and more floral, like acacia honey.

Palate

Sweet overall, but also curiously mouth-drying, with some salt and traces of oil.
