Inchgower Distillery – Active
Gaelic for Island of Goats, Inchgower was Founded in 1871 and is an integral player in the Speyside region.
Inchgower’s malt heavily features in many blends (predominantly Bells and Johnnie Walker) and the distillery produces a brilliant new make that contains a distinctive combination of spice and coastal salinity.
It has been said only about 1% of Inchgower’s whisky is released as a single malt.
