Description: First Fill Sherry Hogshead - Single Malt
Distillery: Strathisla
Region: Speyside
Vintage: 1964
Year Bottled: 2006
A first fill sherry hogshead matured 1964 vintage from the Strathisla distillery.
This was bottled by Gordon and MacPhail - nicely smoky, the sherry provides great balance.
In partnership with each respective distillery, all whiskies in Gordon & Macphail's Rare Vintage range are uniquely labelled.
In years gone by many of these unique designs were used officially to bottle the whisky under licence from the distillery.
Today these trusted relationships with distillers enables Gordon & MacPhail to bottle exclusive vintages of single malt at various strengths, all with their unique distillery label.
Nose: Relatively tight and compact with notes of mixed peels and rubbery tones. Hints of warming wiinter spice and marmalade with golden syrup and sherried sultanas later emerge.
Palate: Similar to the nose with marmalade and sherried fruits - this time with a the slightest hint of creosote with a good level of sweetness and smoke.
Finish: Quite refined and subtle with a little oaken spice.
