The distillery was built in 1871[1] to replace Tochineal Distillery but liquidated in 1903. Buckie Council purchased the concern in 1936 and ownership was transferred to Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd in 1938[1] and indeed to this very day the Bell's logo is used in the advertising of Inchgower. The current operator of Inchgower is Diageo.[1] Since 1966 Inchgower has operated four stills.[1]

The distillations of Inchgower contribute to Bell's blended whisky.[1]

The Inchgower is classified as a Lower Speyside Malt[1] and takes its water from a burn rising in the Menduff Hills to the south of Buckie.
