A review of the Autumn 2023 Release from the Whiskydudes, including a Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2014, Invergordon 1986, North British 1994 and Teaninich 2007.
An introduction the the inaugural releases of a new independent bottler from Belgium, The Roots. First up are an Invergordon 1972, Prunier Lot 40 and Bellevue 1998.
A worthy trio of whiskies for the Whisky Show 2018, and each of them really does represent their era. The Ben Nevis is of an old-school style, while the Ledaig stands for one of the better modern day whisky the industry has to offer presently. A single grain as the future? Coul very well be. This Invergordon is certainly one of the better iterations I've had the pleasure of tasting.
At the risk of sounding like Jim Murray: what's up with that damn sulphur?! Anyway, it doesn't ruin this Invergordon per se, but Ican't say I'm too fond of it either.
We've seen a flurry of Invergordon 1972 hit the market in recent months. All of these casks come from the stables of Whiskybroker. This particular one needs a lot of time, but does reward your patience.
If you're looking to taste really old whisky for a (relatively) low price, than grain whiskies provide a solution. This Invergordon 1972/2016 was bottled by WhiskyNerds, a small Dutch independent bottler.
