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...
We think this whisky is very smooth and has a wonderful flavour.
I like my malt whiskies but have to say am not sure with this particular malt. Bought a bottle yesterday as it was on offer in my local supermarket. Something is definitely missing in the taste compared with other Speyside malts. I will give it another chance hopefully it will improve but I am not holding my breath.
I opened this bottle a d thought it was nice but had a little bite. After letting it sit in my cabinet for 6 weeks I decided to give it another go. I am simply amazed at it's depth now. No bite but tastes of a quality Sherried dram. At this point, it's depth and flavor seem of a 43% abv instead of 40%. Amazing value for money.
A very nice whisky with a beautiful warm finish, quite malty with almost a hint of chocolate
You cannot go wrong with this. Its well made and very pleasant to drink. I buy this regulary ( when the price is right) and always enjoy. Easy drinking and good quality. Drunk in Norfolk. The whisky capital of England.
