    Gordon & Macphail is the bottelaar with the most Strathisla in its track record. If I remember correctly, this one was poured at one of Bert Bruyneel’s Wee Dram Masters, meaning it can no longer be ob… read more

    This Strathisla is of a whole other calibre. It matured for no less than four decades and was bottled by Gordon & Macphail in 2007. The nose alone is a feast. Sherry, caramel, roasted almonds and haz… read more

    This Gordon & Macphail bottling contains a young Strathisla, both age-wise and distillation year. It has a surprisingly bright color. The nose shows the typical fruitiness of Strathisla, but also has a… read more

    About 90% of the production of Strathisla malt whisky goes into the Chivas Brothers blends. This 12 Year Old is one of the few easily obtainable official bottlings. The bottle has a flat shape. The nose… read more

    I was a bit hesitant to try the Royal Salute 21, being wary of gimmicks and marketing led premium prices that dominate the upper end of the blends market. What I discovered was an excellent surprise! A… read more

    This bottle was acquired sooner than later as the LCBO in Ontario has now marked this as 'discontinued' in its' inventory offerings. The distillery itself is slightly mysterious, in part due to the lack… read more

    The nose is meaty and well balanced. Smooth, malty, with a hint of peat and a little citrus. Fragrant but solid. The taste is smooth, woody and vanilla sweet with sherry notes and just a hint of spice… read more
