Kings Inch Glasgow Single Malt Whisky
King’s Inch Single Malt Whisky has been painstakingly distilled for an exceptionally characterful and smooth Lowland Single Malt. This is the first single malt release from Courageous Spirits crafted in the heart of Glasgow by renowned master distiller Jim Swan and experimental distiller Jack Mayo.
Named after the old imperial measurement of an inch, and a forgotten island in the Clyde, this first bottling is an approachable contemporary single malt with exceptional character.
Distilled with West Coast malt, innovative distillation methods and water drawn from Loch Katrine, it has spent just the right amount of time in hand-selected Bourbon and Oloroso casks before making its way in the world. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it is a whisky of exceptional length and character with notes of apple, vanilla, toffee and chocolate powder.
The small-batch lowland single malt was produced and bottled exclusively for Courageous Spirits who are known for their award-winning Glaswegin premium gin.
