Invergordon 1987 34 YO Single Grain (Red Cask), 58.7 %

Distilled 1987-12-16, partly matured in 1st fill ex-Oloroso sherry hogshead (cask #8107661). Bottled 2022 and limited to 155 bottles.

Will be available in Norway starting September 14 at NOK 3575 (15941201).

Nose: A gentle introduction of light aromas, hinting at vanilla and a touch of dried fruits. It's reserved and a tad coy.

Taste: Contrasting the nose, it's bold and full-bodied, dominated by dried fruits with that unmistakable sherry bomb punch. Delight in the distinct notes of raisins, dates, cinnamon, and nutmeg, all with a fizzy undertone.

Finish: Stretches out with length, transitioning to greener hues, with a touch of bitterness from rowan berries.

Comment: A juxtaposition of subtlety and boldness.
