Invergordon is one of very few grain distilleries in the north of Scotland, near the port. Traditionally, this type of distillery is more likely to be found in the Lowlands due to supply and logistics considerations. Invergordon began operations in 1961, two years after Invergordon Distillers was founded, in a period when Scotch whisky was becoming more popular, particularly in North America. The distillery was bought by Whyte & Mackay in 1993.

A single cask Invergordon (#901545) distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2018. Rightly considered one of the most important bottlers of his era, Silvano Samaroli is above all a spirits lover and pioneer. He began his career in the late 1960s, initially as an importer in Italy, where he distributed the Linkwood single malt and numerous blends. His bottling activities only began in the following decade with a cask strength bottling of Bruichladdich 10 Year Old 1965. At a time when single malts where far less popular than blends, Samaroli embarked on a meticulous selection and bottling project in close contact with distilleries and, more importantly, Scottish independent bottlers. A champion of single casks bottled at cask strength, he is also fascinated by ageing in bottle. A visionary in many respects, many of his bottlings, such as Bowmore Bouquet 1996 and the 1948 West Indies Rum, are today some of the most legendary spirits ever bottled. More than just a player in the bottling industry, Silvano Samaroli is one of its founding icons. A limited edition of 270 bottles.
