Whisky Invergordon 1988 Berry Bros & Rudd (70cl) 1988

The wine

Known as the United Kingdom’s longest established spirits merchant, Berry Bros & Rudd is the official supplier to the British Crown. Each stage in the whisky-making process follows strict specifications, aimed at producing a high-quality spirit. This spirit is unique in that it is a non-smoky whisky. This means that the malted barley used has been dried with non-peat fuels such as gas or coal. This unique process is a genuine structuring element that adds a great deal of sweetness and fruity aromas to the whisky.
The indulgent nose reveals aromas of vanilla sublimated by subtle citrus notes. The elegant, unctuous palate reveals delicious ice-cream aromas combined with woody notes. Each sip of this unique spirit carries 59.6% alcohol content. The spirit will live through the years with finesse and authenticity.

About the Producer Invergordon

Founded in the heart of Ross-shire, on the east coast of the Northern Highlands, in 1959, the company was originally intended to be Invergordon’s grain distillery. It was acquired a year later to establish the Invergordon Distillers Ltd. During the 1960s, the business grew considerably, enabling two small malt whisky distilleries to be built, one inside the premises and the other outside. The company’s first whisky, crafted in a still, was unveiled in 1961. Two further stills were installed in 1963, followed by a fourth in 1978. Over the years, the business expanded to the point where it owned six malt whisky distilleries. In the 1990s, the Invergordon distilleries changed ownership once again, passing into the hands of the Whyte & Mackay group. With an impressive production capacity of around 40 million litres per year, the Invergordon distilleries are one of the world’s leading malt whisky producers.
