Strathisla 1964 Gordon and MacPhail Single Malt
70cl
A superb semi-official bottling of Strathisla from independent bottlers Gordon and MacPhail. These hard to find editions of this classic Speyside distillery are becoming the stuff of legends. The whisky has been matured solely in a first fill sherry butt resulting in a dense and complex whisky full of dried fruit, roasted nut and chocolate flavours.
