Courageous Spirits Launches King’s Inch 8 Year Old
Glasgow-based Courageous Spirits has launched the first age-stated whisky under its King’s Inch brand: King’s Inch 8 Year Old.
King’s Inch 8 Year Old was created using West coast barley and narrow cut points and is a small vatting of fresh (wet) Bourbon casks and Sherry butts, yielding just 1,500 bottles.
Bottled at 46% ABV, King’s Inch 8 Year Old is described as “rich and soft laced with hints of heather honey and subtle kick of spiced oak and citrus” on the nose. The palate exhibits “notes of subtle sweetness, tropical fruit and dried raisins lead onto spiced oak and ginger,” transitioning to “spiced ginger lingering at the back of the palate and finishes with a warm and long lasting sweet chilli.”
King’s Inch 8 Year Old is now available for a recommended retail price of £49.
