The signer can be trusted to fry large casks from good distilleries that make single malts too important to blends for their owners to properly market as single malts in their own right.
This Inchgower 1997 looks like a good example. Most of the distillery’s production is needed for Bell’s blended whisky, but it is a very fine single malt in its own right. The signatories have bottled this at 23 years of age, with most of the last three years being finished in a sherry cask.
Bottled at its impressive full natural strength of 59.5% with 690 bottles, this was probably originally two or three bourbon hogsheads that were transferred to the sherry cask for the final maturation period.
