Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57 Year Old · 1953 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany edges, a burnished copper glow that radiates warmth and aged richness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-burnished bouquet with aged oak. Dried fruits—figs and raisins—layer with orange zest, toffee, and almond paste. Cocoa, vanilla, and warm spice mingle with leather and antique wood, hinting at tobacco. A refined, long aroma that speaks of half a century in cask and quiet luxury.

Palate

Silky and refined, the palate opens with honeyed pear and apricot, lifted by sherry-tinged oak. Dried date and fig soften into almond, vanilla and orange zest, while a whisper of cocoa and cedar spice adds depth. Velvety texture carries to a long, warm finish where orchard fruit and polished oak linger.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish that lingers with sherry-resin sweetness, dried fruits and dark cocoa. Subtle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—and polished oak weave through, giving a silky warmth that slowly fades to caramel, almond and tobacco. A refined, enduring farewell from a 57-year-old Strathisla.
