It was founded in 1871 by Alexander Wilson, the nephew of the founder of the Tochineal Distillery, John Wilson. The distillery was originally built to replace Tochineal after it was closed due to shortage of water. The location of Inchgower near the Letter Burn and Aultmore springs assured it was supplied with plentiful water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered a model distillery at the time, Alfred Barnard visited the Inchgower distillery in 1885 and remarked that the distillery \"... is of handsome elevation… the buildings which are of stone and slate are erected in the form of an oblong quadrangle and cover nearly four acres of ground…. A modern work, and is fitted up with all the latest improvements of machinery and vessels.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless in 1903, Inchgower was liquidated. In the 1930s, it was purchased along with the family home at Arradoul House by the Buckie Town Council for £1000. In 1936, it was purchased by Arthur Bell \u0026amp; Sons Ltd. reputedly for £4000 which included the manager’s house and seven cottages. Guinness acquired Arthur Inchgower, Bell \u0026amp; Sons in 1985. Today the brand owner is Diageo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of output from Inchgower finds its way blended in to Bell's, Johnny Walker and White Horse whiskies. Just 1% of Inchgower is sold as single malt. Inchgower offers a malt of complex aroma and fruity, spicy taste with a hint of salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottles of Inchgower feature the distillery symbol of an Oyster Catcher, a bird that is an annual visitor to the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"deer-bear-moose-inchgower-1995","title":"Deer, Bear \u0026 Moose Inchgower 1995","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer, Bear \u0026amp; Moose's Inchgower 1995\u003c\/strong\u003e is a distinguished \u003cstrong\u003e22-year-old Single Malt Scotch\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhisky \u003c\/strong\u003ehailing from the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eSpeyside\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eScotland\u003c\/strong\u003e.
