- Description
- This 30-year-old from Speyside's Strathisla has been matured entirely in first and refill sherry casks, developing deep complexity and colour. The extended ageing contributes layers of dried fruit, polished oak, and subtle nuttiness, with Gordon and MacPhail's independent bottling ensuring authentic character expression. The structure remains elegant despite its age, with a measured finish that rewards contemplation. A whisky for patient sippers and collectors seeking rare examples of distillery character preserved over three decades.
