Inchgower distillery is a whisky distillery producing a single malt of the same name located on the outskirts of Buckie, Moray, Scotland.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The distillery was built in 1871[1] to replace Tochineal Distillery but liquidated in 1903.
Buckie Council purchased the concern in 1936 and ownership was transferred to Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd in 1938 and indeed to this very day the Bell's logo is used in the advertising of Inchgower. [2]
In 1985, Arthur Bell & Sons was taken over by Guinness, who were then merged with United Distillers and Vintners in 1987.[3]
In 1997, Guinness PLC and Grand Metropolitan merged and formed Diageo.[4]
The distillations of Inchgower contribute to Bell's blended whisky.[1]
The Inchgower is classified as a Lower Speyside Malt[1] and takes its water from a burn rising in the Menduff Hills to the south of Buckie.[2]
