Step back into mid-century Speyside with Strathisla 59 Year Old – 1954 Vintage, Gordon & MacPhail (Cask #907).
Charged into a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt on 20 May 1954, the spirit slumbered for nearly six decades in G&M’s Elgin warehouses before being drawn at natural cask strength on 3 June 2013. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, this venerable malt unveils a breathtaking collage of rancio-tinged fruit, antique oak and dark chocolate—an era-defining dram from Scotland’s oldest continuously operating distillery.
