Wemyss Malts 1988 Invergordon "Vintage Strawberry Punnet". Image courtesy Wemyss Malts.This single grain from Invergordon was matured in an ex-Bourbon barrel, and the nose has notes of strawberries and cream, oak, baked fruits, caramel candy, dark chocolate fudge, and hints of roasted nuts. The taste is spicy, but still maintains a butteriness with cinnamon and white pepper balanced by buttered popcorn, a hint of lemon zest, fresh berries, and caramel candy. The finish is long and spicy with lingering cinnamon and a hint of fresh berries. Very nice! (November, 2014)
