- Description
- Invergordon's 1974 distillate spent nearly five decades in a single cask, emerging as a rare single grain Scotch in 2022 with the depth and complexity that only 48 years of maturation can deliver. Highland grain whisky of this age is exceptionally uncommon, offering a window into how patient cask aging transforms spirit into something far removed from typical grain characteristics.
