Inchdairnie 2021 Finglassie vintage whisky is part of the renowned The Cooper’s Choice series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., founded in 1992 by Brian Crook and celebrated for its high-quality independent bottlings.

Tasting Notes – Inchdairnie 2021 Finglassie Coopers Choice

From the very first moment you nose this exclusive single malt from the Lowland-based Inchdairnie Distillery, you’re met with an enticing freshness that reflects the distillery’s clean house style and technical precision. The aroma is vibrant and fruity, with pronounced notes of sweet grains and ripe pears, evoking images of freshly cut hay and sun-drenched orchards. A delicate background warmth of spice is balanced by floral honey and freshly squeezed citrus, forming a deep and complex bouquet that invites contemplation.

On the palate, the whisky delivers a rich and full-bodied mouthfeel that unfolds in layers. Initial notes of baked apple and caramelized sugar give it a dessert-like character, yet it remains beautifully balanced and never overly sweet. Smooth vanilla tones from the casks enhance the profile, and a subtle complexity emerges with hints of green banana. A gentle whisper of smoke starts to appear – not overpowering, but rather a dry, refined touch of charred wood and toasted barley. Toward the finish, warming spices such as cinnamon and clove emerge, adding contrast to the fruitier elements.

The finish is long, evolving, and nuanced. The tasting experience concludes with elegant traces of dried fruits, mellow oak, and a spicy sweetness that gradually fades into a subtle dry finale. This is a whisky with great depth and complexity, offering both challenge and satisfaction to the senses – a true masterpiece of contemporary Scottish whisky craftsmanship.
