Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 45 Year Old · 1969 Vintage
Out of stock
A Strathisla single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 45-year-old was distilled in 1969 and released in 2014 at 43% ABV after long maturation in sherry casks. Strathisla is one of Speyside’s oldest distilleries and traditionally supplies malt for many classic blended Scotch whiskies, making mature official and independent bottlings from this era particularly prized.
Decades in sherry oak bring rich dried fruit sweetness, warm spice and oak depth to Strathisla’s naturally smooth, honeyed character, with gentle oak influence weaving through fruit and malt notes.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a walnut-tinged mahogany edge, luminous and warmly aged.
Nose
Opulent dried-fruit bouquet of raisin, fig and prune, lifted by sherry sweetness. Warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—balance a honeyed Speyside malt, while gentle oak depth threads through the aroma. Subtle almond-toffee hints weave with the fruit, inviting a refined, long nose.
Palate
Rich dried fruit leads the palate, with fig, raisin and orange zest lifting a honeyed, malty core. Sherry sweetness brings warm spice—cinnamon and clove—woven through velvet oak and toffee. Silky, well-balanced, the finish glides with subtle nutty depth and a lingering, refined sweetness.
Finish
Long, honeyed and softly spiced, the finish glides with sherry-soaked warmth. Rich dried fruit lingers, mingling with gentle oak and malt sweetness, a touch of almond and cinnamon weaving through as the glow fades to a refined, lingering velvet.
