- Description
- Invergordon's 50-year slumber from 1974 to 2025 produced a whisky of genuine complexity and herbaceous depth, unusual in aged grain spirits. The combination of refill hogshead and bourbon barrel maturation created layers of honeyed melon and vanilla set against subtle spice and grain character. Bottled without chill filtration or colour adjustment, this is grain whisky in its honest form—dry, layered, and rewarding extended tasting. A remarkable rarity for those interested in how grain whisky evolves across five decades.
