Cooper’s Choice Inchfad 15 Year Old

Cooper’s Choice is the independent bottling label of The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., known for selecting distinctive single cask whiskies that emphasize individuality and natural presentation. This Inchfad 15 Year Old comes from Loch Lomond Distillery, one of Scotland’s most technically versatile producers, capable of creating multiple whisky styles under one roof through its unique still setup. Inchfad represents the distillery’s heavily peated style, often showing a more earthy, oily, and fruit-driven profile than coastal Islay malts. Bottled at 52% ABV, this release highlights the balance between peat intensity and mature cask influence, offering a more nuanced and expressive take on smoky Highland whisky.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Earthy peat smoke and charred oak lead, followed by grilled orchard fruit, vanilla, and hints of leather and spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and oily, with notes of smoked malt, caramel, dark fruit, and pepper balanced by toasted oak and herbal undertones.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke, cracked black pepper, and a dry, earthy fade.
