Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail (Bottled 2014) 1960

HED80596 70cl 43%
A complex 1960 vintage whisky from the Strathisla distillery, this single malt was bottled by Gordon and MacPhail, having been matured in a first-fill sherry butt for more than 5 decades. As expected, the nose is sherried and full, with notes of cut herbs and mixed fruits. On the palate, you’ll find notes of sultanas, with a cereal sweetness and barley sugars. There are charred oak notes with a heavy smoke. Described by the producers as a ‘full-bodied Speysider’, this is a must-try whisky.

Strathisla

Established in 1786, Strathisla can reasonably claim to be one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland and, due to its extremely picturesque setting, is definitely one of the most photographed! Owned by Pernod Ricard, the distillery produces single malt whisky that forms the bedrock of two of the world's most famous premium blends - Chivas Regal and Royal Salute. The team at Strathisla produce around 2.5 million litres of whisky a year, running two wash stills and two spirit stills.

An official 12 Year Old is really the only consistent release from Strathisla, while Gordon and MacPhail have released a number of single vintage editions over the years which are well worth seeking out. While younger bottlings offer a mellow, orchard fruit character, Strathisla is well suited to long ageing in ex-Sherry casks, taking on notes of old leather, tobacco and ripe fruit as it matures.
