Invergordon – 19 Year Old 2002 Old Particular (70cl, 51.5%)

A single cask Invergordon single grain whisky bottled by Douglas Laing in its Old Particular series. It was distilled in October 2002 and matured for 19 years in a refill sherry butt before bottling in August 2022. The 684 bottles were filled at 51.5% abv, without colouring and without chill-filtering. Invergordon stands in the Highlands and is Scotland's northernmost grain distillery. The nose is sweet with a hint of malt, full-bodied and strong, with American cream soda. On the palate it follows a typical grain style, with corn, vanilla fudge and crushed, heated sugar. The finish brings butterscotch, honey and the bourbon and syrup character you would expect.
