Description
Invergordon single grain is uncommon, the distillery's output largely feeding Whyte & Mackay blends rather than standalone bottlings. This single cask was bottled by Archives, distilled in 1972, at 50 years old, for its The Fishes of Samoa range. Single cask number 96871 yielded 93 bottles, released for France.
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 44.6%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol for butterscotch. Recorded bottle notes run to fresh orchard fruit, green, leafy notes, a faint medicinal note and a vegetal note. Decades in oak have pushed the light grain into waxy, tropical territory, with mango and pineapple from slow ester development.
