- Description
- Distilled in 1960 and bottled in 2013, this extraordinary Strathisla from Gordon & MacPhail represents over five decades of maturation in three sherry casks. Deep amber in colour, it displays the richness characteristic of long-aged Speyside malts—dried fruit, leather, and warm spice—rounded and mellow from decades in wood. The texture is elegant and complex, with a sustained finish of dark chocolate and oak. A museum-piece bottling for serious collectors and those honouring a significant vintage.
