- Description
- Invergordon's 23-year-old single grain Scotch has been finished in a uniquely coopered 50-litre hybrid cask combining Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso staves—a first for the Darkness range. The extended sherry cask influence transforms grain whisky's typically light character into something rich, with concentrated dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice balanced against grain whisky's subtle cereal sweetness. The texture is full and syrupy, with a long, sherried finish that coats the palate. This suits adventurous drinkers seeking unconventional grain whiskies with serious cask influence.
