- Description
- Invergordon's grain spirit, distilled in 2011 and aged 14 years before a Palo Cortado sherry octave finish, develops honeyed sweetness with dried fruit, nuttiness, and subtle spice character from its smaller cask maturation. The Palo Cortado's dry, complex profile lifts the grain's natural vanilla and cereal notes into something more sophisticated than standard sherried grain. This rare release of just 85 bottles suits those exploring how smaller-format finishes reshape grain whisky's flavour profile.
