Invergordon The Octave Single Palo Cortado Cask #5248282 Whisky 16 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Deep, sunlit amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, sherry-kissed glow.

Nose

Toasted almond and marzipan meet walnut and dried fig, with a kiss of raisin. Orange zest, vanilla and caramel drift through warm spices—cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. The Palo Cortado finish adds sherry depth—nutty, gently oxidative, with cocoa and polished oak.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, creamy vanilla and toffee underpin a cascade of dried fruit—raisin, fig, apricot—while almond and hazelnut add nutty depth. Sweet spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—meets subtle Palo Cortado warmth, with hints of orange zest and cocoa. The finish is long, elegant, and softly drying, with a lingering toast and refined oak.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with sweet spice, toasted almond and walnut, touched by soft sherry warmth. The Palo Cortado octave cask leaves a silky, nutty sweetness and dried-fruit depth that lingers, wrapping the palate in refined, velvety warmth.
