In 1936, the company became bankrupt, and Buckie Town Council brought the distillery, selling it to Arthur Bell & Sons in 1938. Guinness later took over Arthur Bell & Sons, with the group eventually forming part of Diageo, who continue to own the distillery today. The spirit made at Inchgower Distillery continues to be an integral part of Bell's blend, one of the UK's best selling scotch whiskies.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
