- Description
- This 45-year-old single grain from Invergordon spent over four decades in a single bourbon barrel, from December 1972 to April 2018, resulting in a rare and patient expression of Highland grain whisky. Bottled as one of just 235 casks for Hunter Laing's The Sovereign range, it represents a vanishing category of Scottish whisky.
