Strathisla 12 Year Old is a fruity and sherry-rich single malt from one of the oldest Scottish distilleries in operation (and a very handsome one at that - the pair of pagodas atop Strathmill make for a very striking image on the horizon). A perfect single malt for people new to the wonders of whisky,as its easy to sip and enjoy the sweet toffee flavour.
Soft oak and hints of candied peel. A little floral character too, with notes of spice and Danish pastries.
Malty core with notes of sultanas and cinnamon pastries. Allspice, cooked apple and mince pies.
Long finish. Very fruity.
A good all-rounder - excellent value for money...
Strathisla !
Muy bueno. Muy muy bueno.
Delicious anytime, but sweeter with more pear and apple after resting in the glass awhile! Amazing finish!
I agree with a previous reviewer, I bought this bottle back in February and I thought it had a little too much bite. After letting it sit for several months I decided to go back to it and am very satisfied with the depth and sherried chacter. Lovely fruit finish.
Well made. Has respect in Scotland and is the heart of all Chivas. The best highland, speyside ever made.
