Inchgower - Sherry 12 Years (Speyside) (700 ml)

Douglas Laing & Co., founded in Glasgow in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, built its Provenance range as a deliberate act of transparency in a category long dominated by opacity — every label prints the source distillery, cask number, cask type, and both distillation and bottling dates, a disclosure standard that most blended Scotch brands still refuse to match.

Inchgower distillery sits at the mouth of the River Spey near Buckie on the Moray coast, where the maritime influence — salt-laden air, cool coastal temperatures — slows maturation and preserves the distillery's characteristic waxy, orchard-fruit character through extended cask contact.

This expression spent 12 years in a refill sherry cask — used wood that imparts dried fruit and gentle spice without overwhelming the distillate — then bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered, with no added colouring, preserving the natural texture and haze that chill-filtration would strip.

What sets this release apart within the Provenance range is the combination of Inchgower's coastal-Speyside character — a style rarely seen as a single cask independent bottling — with sherry wood at 12 years, a maturation length that sits at the upper end of the Provenance tier.

Strictly limited to the yield of a single cask, typically 300–850 bottles, this release will not be repeated.
