Tasting Notes

Nose: Plush vanilla pod, coconut macaroon and orange blossom drift over pineapple chunks, demerara syrup and a touch of sandalwood. Palate: Silky layers of toffee crème brûlée, banana flambé and honeyed cereal coat the tongue, followed by cinnamon stick, almond brittle and soft oak char. Finish: Long, satin-smooth and gently warming—lingering demerara sweetness, mellow oak spice and a final flourish of candied citrus peel.
Toast half a century of grain-whisky elegance with Invergordon 50 Year Old – 1972 Vintage, Murray McDavid “Mission Gold.” Filled during the distillery’s golden era and matured for five decades in a single ex-bourbon hogshead, this Highland single grain was bottled in 2024 at a dignified 48 % ABV. Un-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 129 individually numbered bottles emerged—revealing a satin-smooth tapestry of vanilla custard, tropical fruit and polished oak that can come only from fifty patient years in wood.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • A venerable 50-year single-grain whisky from Invergordon—an increasingly rare age statement.

  • Matured its entire life in a lone ex-bourbon hogshead, showcasing decadent vanilla, tropical fruit and refined Lowland oak.

  • Bottled at 48 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural colour for undiluted texture, aroma and authenticity.

  • Strictly limited to 129 bottles in Murray McDavid’s prestigious Mission Gold series—perfect for collectors of long-aged grain whisky and ultra-rare drams.

Raise a glass to five decades of patience with this distinguished Invergordon—where creamy grain sweetness, exotic fruit and polished oak converge in every luxurious sip.
