- Description
- Invergordon's 1972 vintage, aged 50 years in a single bourbon cask and limited to 129 bottles, represents grain whisky refined by half a century of subtle oak interaction. Five decades in cask have mellowed the distillery's characteristic grain character into velvet smoothness, developing vanilla and light oak influence while maintaining clarity of spirit. The texture is silky and delicate, a masterclass in how time transforms grain whisky. This is for collectors and whisky enthusiasts seeking rare, elegant aged grain.
