Strathisla Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1987 Vintage

Colour

Dark golden amber with copper-bronze highlights and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Delicate and sunlit, the nose opens with honeyed orchard fruit—pear and apple—softly kissed by vanilla and a touch of toffee. Subtle malt sweetness sits beneath polished oak, while citrus zest and almond add lift. A whisper of sherry warmth lingers, inviting a refined, creamy freshness.

Palate

Elegant and creamy on the palate, with orchard fruit sweetness—golden apple and pear—mellow honey drizzled over warm cereals. Soft vanilla and toffee mingle with light oak, delivering a silky mouthfeel. Subtle spice—nutmeg and white pepper—fades into a lingering almond and orange zest finish.

Finish

Long and mellow, the finish releases honeyed orchard fruit and delicate malt sweetness, tempered by subtle oak spice. It lingers with a warm glow, slowly fading into a refined nuttiness.
