- Description
- Invergordon's grain spirit distilled in November 1964 spent 50 years in a bourbon barrel before Hunter Laing's November 2014 release, making this one of the oldest commercially available grain whiskies at 252 bottles. Five decades of maturation in refill oak create exceptional depth—honey, candied fruit, and warming spice balanced against clean, barely-there alcohol heat. An extraordinary rarity for collectors seeking extreme age and historical Scottish grain whisky.
