Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherried aroma of dried fruits—raisin, fig, and glazed orange—woven with dark chocolate, toffee and almond. A supple malt backbone and polished oak lend warmth, while gentle spice and a hint of plum complete a refined, old-world elegance.

Palate

Silky, sherried palate with dark-fruit depth—raisin, fig and a hint of orange zest—woven with almond, toffee and a touch of spice. The malt remains refined, while cinnamon and clove weave through the silky frame. Oak sits gently, delivering a warm, cocoa-kissed finish that lingers gracefully.

Finish

Long, velvety and refined, the finish is saturated with sherry sweetness—date and raisin fruits melded with dark chocolate and cocoa—woven through with spice and warm oak. A lingering, luxurious warmth that slowly fades to a polished, nutty softness.

Strathisla
(Strath-IS-la) Strathisla was founded in Keith in 1786 by George Taylor and Alexander Milne, originally under the name Milltown. It is widely regarded as the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands, and Chivas Brothers bought it in 1950, making Strathisla the home distillery and signature malt at the centre of Chivas Regal.
