Invergordon 33 Years Old 1989 Cask #37035 (Brachadair)

Invergordon single grain is uncommon, the distillery's output largely feeding Whyte & Mackay blends rather than standalone bottlings. This single cask was bottled by Brachadair, distilled in 1989, at 33 years old. Single cask number 37035 yielded 193 bottles, released for Europe.

Grain whisky like Invergordon's is made in continuous Coffey stills rather than pot stills, which gives a cleaner, sweeter and lighter spirit than malt. Matured in ex-Bourbon casks.

Bottled at its natural cask strength of 55.6%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol for butterscotch. Recorded bottle notes run to a fragrant lift, fresh orchard fruit and vanilla. Long maturation has layered tropical fruit and a buttery, waxy weight over the grain's natural sweetness.
