Invergordon 43 yo 1965/2009 (50.8%, Duncan Taylor, Rare Auld, cask #15528)
Colour: gold (a little paler than the 1971). Nose: we are extremely close to the 1971, I guess six more years don’t make much difference with very old grains. Maybe a little more coconut and also more grassy notes and coffee that give it a slightly ‘malty’ profile. Maybe also a little more plain oak and quite some mint from the wood starting to show off. A faint Irishness, something of that old Dungourney 1964/1994, remember? With water: not a lot of development, only an added waxiness and more mint and coconut, then cloves. Very nice anyway. Mouth (neat): exactly the same differences with the 1971 as on the nose. More coconut liqueur (no brand names!) and more milk chocolate, dried ginger and a ‘responsiveness’ that’s quite unusual at such old age. Sure it’s kind of an oak liqueur but it’s all under control and mucho pleasant. With water: more spices and more direct oakiness. ‘Pencil chewed during math class’. Liquorice. Finish: rather long, even more on liquorice, with an unusual salty touch and a late fruitiness (gooseberries). Comments: let’s face it, all these old Invergordons are very good, and such is this brand new bottling, even if it hasn’t got all of the 1971’s magic.
