Invergordon 42 Year Old 1973 (Private Label) | 700ML

Blimey. 42 years old grain right here. That's quite something, and here we've bottled up a batch of 318 bottles, distilled at Invergordon in 1973. We imagine they were all wearing bell bottoms and listening to Slade when this was made, though we doubt either would be allowed under distillery health and safety regs today. Or should be allowed anywhere really.

Invergordon 42 Year Old 1973 (Private Label) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Chewy caramel and melted milk chocolate, cinnamon swirls, and chocolate shortbread lead, it's like walking into a patisserie basically. Zesty lemon curd brings a lift, with spiced fruit loaf joining along the way.

Palate: Honeyed banana muffins with dustings of cacao and toffee. Hints of nutmeg and dried chilli bring a layer of warmth alongside robust old oak.

Finish: That oak lingers towards the finish, bringing woody spice and vanilla, accompanied by sweet apple sauce and crumbly fudge.

Distillery Information

Located in the Highland town of Invergordon, established by Invergordon Distillers Ltd. and operating since 1961 is the Invergordon grain distillery. It is one of only six dedicated grain distilleries in Scotland, and is famous for their Coffey stills, from which they produce some of the finest grain whisky in the world. The Navy withdrew from the town in 1956, leaving a peak of unemployment after which Invergordon was ready to welcome some industrial infrastructure. Oddly, it is based in a region associated with malt distilling, though the combination of easily accessible cereal crops and its port set it as an ideal site for a grain distillery. After a series of owners, Invergordon was absorbed into Whyte & Mackay in 1993, and the majority of liquid distilled goes into Whyte & Mackay blends. Invergordon has an absolutely staggering production capacity of 40,000,000 liters per year, though the whisky firm announced plans in December 2016 to modernise the 1970s distillery.
