Strathisla Chivas Brothers Cask Strength Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1994 Vintage
Out of stock
A Strathisla single malt from the Chivas Brothers Cask Strength Edition, this 1994 vintage was matured in oak and bottled in 2011 at a robust 55.3% ABV after 16 years in cask.
Bottled at natural strength, this release highlights Strathisla’s classic Speyside character with rich malt sweetness, gentle orchard fruit and soft spice balanced by oak structure.
The cask strength presentation brings concentrated depth and warmth, making this a bold yet harmonious expression of one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the Highlands, and a notable example of the distillery’s style in an independent cask-strength format.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with a warm honey glow and coppery highlights, suggesting sherry-influenced depth and oak richness.
Nose
Opulent malt sweetness meets ripe orchard fruit—apple and pear—lifted by gentle spice. Vanilla and warm oak give structure, while a subtle honeyed depth hints at cask-strength richness. Inviting and refined, it embodies Strathisla’s classic Speyside grace.
Palate
Rich malt sweetness supports gentle orchard fruit and soft spice, underpinned by robust oak. At cask strength it delivers concentrated depth and a warming, long finish where sweetness, fruit and spice remain in elegant balance.
Finish
Long, warming finish infused with rich malt sweetness and orchard fruit, gradually unfolding into soft spice. Oak structure and gentle tannins linger, carrying the cask-strength depth into a lasting caramel-tinged echo of Strathisla’s Speyside character.
