Strathisla 1949 Bottling Note
Bottled in 1997 by Gordon and MacPhail, this was distilled in 1949 at the Strathisla distillery in Speyside, one of the oldest in the Highlands.
The nose is rounded and a tad smoky. There are notes of rubbery sherry and chewy sultanas, hints of tannic oak and mixed dried fruits with fruitcake and spice. A not of honeyed fresh tobacco emerges. The palate is full with a chewy texture. There are notes of barley sugars and sultanas and sherried peels. There is a trailing wood smoke note. The finish is lightly smoked and well-oaked.
