Invergordon 40 Year Old 1986 Unicorn is an extraordinary and deeply luxurious single grain Scotch whisky, bottled exclusively for The Whisky Barrel as part of the acclaimed Unicorn Series. Distilled in 1986 and matured for four decades in a single first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead (#1045), this rare release was bottled in May 2026 at its natural cask strength of 48.5% ABV, yielding just 181 bottles.

Long maturation in active Oloroso wood has transformed this mature Invergordon into a whisky of exceptional richness, elegance, and depth. Layers of dark fruits, antique oak, polished leather, chocolate, and warming spice unfold beautifully while retaining the silky smooth character that makes old grain whisky so revered among collectors and connoisseurs. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a stunning example of ultra-aged Scotch whisky.

As part of The Whisky Barrel’s exclusive Unicorn Series, the release celebrates the artistry, rarity, and mythology surrounding Scotland’s most collectible whiskies. The result is a highly distinctive and visually striking bottling worthy of its legendary status.
