The Exclusive Malts (distilled at Invergordon) 30 year old 1984 (cask #8005)

A rare old single grain whisky from Scotland’s most northern grain distillery. The nose brings together varnished oak clove dried orange peel and molasses. On the palate an unexpectedly lush mouthfeel supports a flavorful combination of citrus molasses and varnished oak. This single grain has depth and character that’s completely uncommon to the category tasting a lot more like an aged rum. A long acidic slightly sour dry and spicy finish rounds out a unique and intriguing whisky. (U.S. only)
