- Description
- Inverleven's 1985 vintage, bottled at cask strength by Gordon & MacPhail after 38 years in cask #563, represents one of Scotland's final expressions from this now-closed Lowland distillery. The spirit carries the distillery's signature fruity and grassy character, evolved through decades of maturation into something deeper and more complex. Spice and orchard fruit dominate, with a rich, warming mouthfeel and a long, drying finish. A collector's piece for those seeking rare Lowland whisky from a bygone era.
