Invergordon Single Grain Scotch Whisky Aged 43 Years: Batch 7 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

Aromatics Evokes toasted meringue. A clear sweetness of white sugar, slightly browned. Quite straightforward. Taste Brings to mind a crème brûlée experienced once, where lavender had been simmered in the cream. Similar, but as if the sugar topping had been over-caramelized. Enjoyable, truly. For a moderately elevated alcohol content, there's minimal burn, yet it possesses substance. Aftertaste More crème brûlée that fades into notes of oak tannins. Less heavily oaked than one might anticipate from something of this age. Summary Acquired as a personal celebratory treat, seeking a very aged whisky. If this matches your circumstances and you're open to spending around $120 for a half bottle to satisfy your curiosity, then it is recommended. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's not an unpalatable novelty either. It excels at a few elements, performing them commendably.
