Invergordon 37 Years Old 1988 Cask #804139 (Alistair Walker Whisky Company)

Invergordon single grain is uncommon, the distillery's output largely feeding Whyte & Mackay blends rather than standalone bottlings. This single cask was bottled by Alistair Walker Whisky Company, distilled in 1988, at 37 years old, for its Infrequent Flyers range. Single cask number 804139 yielded 270 bottles, released for Europe.

Invergordon is a grain distillery rather than a malt one, distilling a mash of maize, wheat and barley through tall continuous column stills to a light, high strength spirit. Matured in ex-Bourbon casks.

Bottled at 44.5%, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol for butterscotch. The great age has turned the spirit waxy and tropical, ripe mango and pineapple emerging over the vanilla.
