STRATHISLA 1953 (65 YEARS)
STRATHISLA 1953 PRIVATE COLLECTION (65 YEAR)
Strathisla was distilled in 1953 at Strathisla distillery, this Speyside single malt was matured in a single first-fill sherry butt for more than half a century before being bottled for Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection in January 2019.
The whisky brings the sweet aromas of dried fruit, rich sherry and oak fill the nose initially, before hints of candied fruit, orange oil, baking spies and menthol develop. The palate initially offers mature oak spice, developing into notes of autumn berries, crystalised ginger, dark chocolate and aniseed.
Strathisla 1953 was bottled at 43.5%
