Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 24 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a honeyed, sunlit glow.

Nose

Waxy Strathisla malt leads with orchard fruit and honey, unfurling into vanilla, toffee and almond. Rich oak carries baking spices—cinnamon and clove—while a faint sherry-tinged fruitiness deepens. At cask strength, a warm peppery lift and dried-fruit depth linger, hinting at the mature, complex palate to come.

Palate

Powerful yet refined, the palate coats the mouth with lush dried fruit, raisin and fig, lifted by orange rind. Sherry richness glides into dark chocolate, coffee and toffee, while cinnamon and clove spice lingers. Velvety, syrupy texture underlines a polished oak frame; the finish is long, warm and complex, with sweet notes and a touch of toasted almond.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherry-laced oak and dried fruit notes that linger effortlessly. Orange zest, cinnamon and clove spark a gentle spice, fading into cocoa, toasted almond and a refined, lingering dryness.
