- Description
- Distilled in 1987 at one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, this Speyside single malt matured for 26 years in ex-bourbon cask before being independently bottled by WM Cadenhead in 2013, yielding just 156 bottles. The long ageing in refill wood would have developed classical Strathisla character of orchard fruit and subtle spice.
