The Exclusive Malts (distilled at Invergordon) 42 year old 1973, 51.1%

Lush caramel, red apples, sanded oak, and olive oil first pressings with herbal overtones, this ancient grain has managed to retain its distinctive character. The palate is initially mouth-drawing with an oily structure, the flavors are a pleasing tangle of caramelized apple, toffee, and sultana, with a noticeably long finish. Banish any notion you might have of adding water right now. It's welcoming to have a great aged grain unafraid to show its true colors. (248 bottles)
