Here, Wemyss has shown multiple times that not all grain whiskies are created equal. And the 30-year-old Invergordon “Candied Chestnuts” from the Sherry Butt impressively confirms this. It was also bottled at cask strength, making its notes of dates, figs, and toasted nuts with caramel sauce even more opulent. A true sherry bomb!
