Invergordon 25 Year (The Good Spirits Co.)
Single Grain — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed
June 5, 2024 (edited June 16, 2024)
Stocks of older single grains are dwindling rapidly, and real bargains are hard to find. The Good Spirits Company picked one of these gems, and it's pretty affordable, too. On the nose, custard, almonds and sweet popcorn mingle with sawdust, ginger and hints of chamomile. Coconut cream, vanilla and honey are prominent on the palate, while peppery spices intensify. Water is recommended to tame the initial heat. Icing sugar, lemon peel and green tea fade in the fresh and oak-driven finish. For a mid-aged grain whisky, this Invergordon ticks all the boxes!

I love old grain whiskies, but I am aware that most of the bottles I review are not available in the US. Don't dismiss single grains and check what's available where you are, in my opinion every whisky enthusiast should own a bottle of grain for diversity. Start with Hedonism if nothing else is available.
Additional information: Not a vintage bottling (which is rare), matured for 25 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead (51.4% ABV, 273 bottles). A great value at only 80 € per bottle, I bought 4 of them.
