1988 Invergordon 27 Year Old "Sovereign - K&L Exclusive" Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Notes

Fresh off our most recent delivery are two new single barrels of Invergordon, a Whyte & Mackay Highland grain distillery that sits along the waters of the Cromarty Firth north of Inverness. For those of you who still can't wrap your heads around grain whisky, just imagine Bourbon distilled to a higher proof and aged like single malt in various types of refill barrels. It's basically high proof, column still whisky made from corn, wheat, or unmalted barley that's pumped out in mass quantities to mix into blended Scotch. Because of that rather dubious reputation for quality, prices for grain whisky remain low. But because of our extensive tasting and sampling in the genre, we've learned that very old grain whiskies. This 27 year old is textbook grain whisky, nothing more and nothing less. It's fruity and round on the entry with a soft mouthfeel and a lovely note of vanilla on the finish. It's no frills, no fuss whisky. It's just flat out delicious.
