Gordon & MacPhail Strathisla 30

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail

ABV: 43%

Score: 94 Points

The nose has notes of honey, malt, a hint of oak, and allspice with a touch of roasted almonds. The taste is creamy and buttery-smooth with a rising wave of cinnamon that eventually fades to reveal hints of ginger and allspice. Honey and a touch of peaches carry through into the long and smooth finish. Excellent. (January, 2013)
