Master of Malt Invergordon 16-year-old is a single grain Scotch whisky from the Highlands, bottled from a single cask at a natural-feeling strength of 52.2% ABV. Single grain whisky is typically made to offer a softer, lighter base spirit than many single malts, while a single-cask release can show a more individual character.
This bottling was matured in an Oloroso sherry puncheon, a cask type often associated with richer oak influence and dried-fruit notes. For a novice drinker, that suggests a grain whisky style that may combine smooth vanilla-led sweetness with a fuller sherried depth than usual.
