- Description
- Distilled in 1954 and released by Gordon & MacPhail at 48 years of age, this Strathisla represents one of the longest-aged single malts ever bottled from the Highlands. Nearly five decades in wood have refined the spirit into a delicate, honeyed expression with subtle oak and dried fruit complexity. The texture is silky despite its age, finishing with persistent orchard notes and gentle spice. A museum piece for collectors of historical Scotch whisky.
