- Description
- Invergordon's Highland grain character refined over 27 years in a refill hogshead, from 1988 to 2015, and bottled at cask strength by Hunter Laing's Sovereign range. Long maturation in refill wood allows the distillery's inherent cereal sweetness and subtle orchard notes to develop complexity without excessive oak influence. The palate is elegant and approachable, with a clean, drying finish. A rare glimpse into how well-aged grain whisky can age gracefully, suited to those exploring beyond malt.
