Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 52 Year Old · 1954 Vintage

Colour

Rich golden amber with copper-gold glow and mahogany-tinged depths.

Nose

An opulent bouquet of dried fig and date, lifted by orange zest and burnt sugar. Rich sherry notes mingle with honeyed oak, almond and toffee, while cinnamon and clove lend a warming spice. A whisper of leather and tobacco hints at age, finishing with velvety oak and ripened fruit.

Palate

Silky and poised, this Strathisla unfolds with dried fig and apricot, entwined with orange zest and a whisper of sherry. Nutty malt, polished oak, and milk chocolate emerge, while cinnamon and clove lend quiet warmth. The mouthfeel is deeply balanced and refined, finishing long with resinous wood, coffee kiss, and a delicate, lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long and poised, the finish coats the palate with dried fruit, dark chocolate and orange zest, lifted by delicate spice. Sherry echoes linger as toasted almond and vanilla weave the oak into a warm, silky fade that persists with dignified restraint.
