Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 50 Year Old · 1957 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with copper-bronze highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Opulent, richly sherried aromas lead with dried prune, fig and date, woven with toffee and cocoa. Orange zest brightens the sweetness, while vanilla, almond and toasted oak provide depth. Subtle leather notes mingle with cinnamon and nutmeg, yielding a warm, elegant bouquet that hints at a long, luxurious finish.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate with lush sherried sweetness. Raisins and fig mingle with dark chocolate and orange zest, supported by toasted nutmeg and cinnamon. Rich, velvety fruitcake notes drift over a frame of polished oak and a whisper of tobacco. Long, warming finish with espresso, leather and a cocoa-kissed afterglow.

Finish

An impeccably long, refined finish that lingers with sherried polish: dark fruits, cocoa, and subtle orange zest unfold on velvety oak, finishing in warm spice and a long, contemplative fade.
