Ingelred whisky



Autumn 2023, The Blue Labels

 

May we introduce four new exciting bottlings from Ingelred Whisky. Not only exciting but sensationally good and interesting malts. As always from Inglered, single malt, single casks, bottled at cask strength:

No 1: Hint of Sicily
Age 11 years, Ben Nevis distillery, Cask #4 2012, Marsala

For eleven years, this whisky has been aged in a Marsala cask. This imparts the distinctive qualities of Sicilian Marsala wine, including a dark amber colour and a sweet, refreshing aroma with hints of citrus and almond paste. The taste is well rounded, featuring notes of dark chocolate, toasted almonds, brown sugar, and dried fruit. The finish lingers, revealing potent dark undertones and a subtle touch of floral essence.

No 2: Soaked in Pedro Ximénez
Age 15 years, Ben Nevis distillery, Cask #609 2012,PX Sherry Cask finish

In 2021, this whisky, which had been aged in Bourbon casks, was transferred to a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask. The intention was for it to let it rest there for six months, aiming to make a good whisky even better. However, the pandemic intervened, and it was not until a year and a half later that it could be bottled. The result is a whisky with distinct characteristics from the sherry cask. The aroma is reminiscent of sherry, with prominent notes of figs. The taste offers hints of caramelized sugar, rich dark dried fruits, culminating in a lusciously sweet and honeyed finish.

No 3: Best from Bourbon
Age 17 years, Ben Nevis distillery, Cask #398 2005,Bourbon

Many whisky enthusiasts prefer whisky aged in ex-Bourbon casks, as it allows the distillery's character to shine at its best. This whisky is truly something for them. It encompasses the finest qualities of the whisky that made Ben Nevis one of Scotland's most intriguing distilleries under the leadership of Colin Ross. It is like a tour through the distillery, with aromas of barley, marzipan, and vanilla. The palate is greeted with a delightful sweetness and creamy confectionery, culminating in a lingering finish reminiscent of crisp green apples. It is evident how beautifully Ben Nevis malt blends with the American oak.

No 4: Red wine and blue
Age 21 years, Ben Nevis distillery, Cask #1300 2001,Californian Red Wine

This whisky was initially aged for 10 years in a Bourbon cask, and after being transferred to a Californian red wine cask, it remained undisturbed for an additional 11 years. The result is a sensational and delicious whisky, showcasing the best of Ben Nevis distillate and the casks it was matured in. It offers a lightly sweet aroma with notes of caramel, raisins, and a hint of citrus. The taste is developed and well balanced, featuring almond paste, melon, and dried fruits. It concludes with a long and pleasant finish, completely devoid of bitterness or tannins.
