- Strathisla's 1972 vintage aged for 40 years in sherry cask and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail showcases the Speyside distillery's naturally sweet character. Rich notes of rum and raisin, hazelnut, dark chocolate and marzipan dominate, with tropical and citrus fruits emerging as the dram opens. A splash of water reveals cigar ash and further complexity in this cask-strength expression. Essential for collectors seeking rare vintage Speyside from the 1970s.
