Invergordon 1997 BNSp

1237-INVERGORDON 28 yo (1997-2025) CASK MASTERS SINGLE GRAIN SCOTCH WHISKEY 51.9%. ...The nose was pleasant and seemed uncomplicated, the mouth and finish compensate. Some people say all grains should end up in the sink, but I'm quite the opposite. Young grains are indeed unstructured, simple, and uncomplicated. But in this case, we're talking about aged distillates. In my opinion, they have that "something"; in other words, they can already offer a quite decent sensory experience. Tasted in small portions, of course. This Invergordon is a mature grain with a subtle influence of wine barrels. Considering its age, it's quite light, creamy, sweet, and nothing overpowering.

Toasted oak, mocha, a hint of chalk, cereals, red fruits, honey, nuts, spices, pepper. Medium finish and the 51.9% abv is integrated allright, a bit spicy. It lacks depth and could use some more time in the Rivesaltes barrique but it's an enjoyable albeit simple Invergordon.
