Invergordon 25 Years Old 1997 Cask #300718 (Brave New Spirits)

Founded in 1959, Invergordon makes grain whisky on a large scale for blending, so single grain bottlings under its own name are rare and come mostly from independent bottlers. This single cask was bottled by Brave New Spirits, distilled in 1997, at 25 years old, for its The Yellow Edition range. Single cask number 300718 yielded 293 bottles, released for Europe.

Invergordon runs column stills over fifty feet tall on a maize and wheat mash, producing the soft, sweet grain spirit that forms the base of Whyte & Mackay's blends. Matured in ex-Bourbon casks.

Bottled at its natural cask strength of 51.3%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol for butterscotch. The result is a soft, sweet profile led by vanilla and coconut, into a gentle finish.
