Description

One of a trio of lost Inverness distilleries, once located on Millburn Road in the east of the city. Operational in bursts between 1805 and 1985, it was finally closed by the Distillers Company which deemed it surplus to requirements and is now home to a hotel chain.

Nose
quite thick and mineral. There's vegetal oil, a lot of hay and plenty of cucumber water. Then hints of incense and light soot, along with a hint of pine, rye bread and aniseed. Gooseberries in the distance, but this is certainly not a fruity malt. Candle wax and library dusty make this is a lovely old-style profile though.
Palate
oily, malt and slightly candied. The waxiness and slightly industrial profile is great again, mixed with a very light smoky warmth. Light peach and yellow apple, with plenty of citrus and one or two raisins. Light pepper comes out after a while, orange peel and walnut cake. Hints of motor oil too, along with a hint of cough drops and a subtle meaty touch.
Finish
medium to long, with a vague sweetness but also lemon peels and a very light bitterness of herbal tea.
