- Description
- Invergordon's 51-year-old grain whisky, distilled in May 1966 and aged in a refill hogshead until June 2017, represents a rare survivor from Scotland's grain distilling heritage. With just 161 bottles released, this is a study in how time reshapes spirit: expect the subtle complexity and waxy richness that only five decades can build into grain whisky.
