Invergordon1987 MBl The Grainman
Summary
This whisky is a single grain expression from Invergordon, distilled in 1987 and aged for 33 years. Single grain whiskies are typically made from a mix of grains, including malted barley, and distilled in a continuous still, which often results in a lighter and more delicate spirit compared to single malts. This particular bottle has had the benefit of over three decades of maturation, allowing it to develop a complex and nuanced character that is both refined and sophisticated.
The extended aging process has imparted a depth of flavor and a smoothness that is characteristic of older whiskies. The spirit has had ample time to interact with the oak cask, drawing out rich, woody notes and a subtle sweetness. This makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate the intricacies of well-aged whiskies and are looking for something with a bit more maturity and elegance.
Invergordon is known for producing high-quality single grain whiskies, and this 1987 vintage is no exception. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the craftsmanship and tradition of Scottish whisky-making, with a profile that is both approachable for novices and rewarding for seasoned enthusiasts. The whisky's age and single grain nature make it a distinctive addition to any collection, promising a memorable tasting experience.
