Step into Speyside’s storied past with Strathisla 46 Year Old – 1965 Vintage, Gordon & MacPhail. Filled into carefully selected sherry butts in 1965 and bottled in 2012, this venerable single malt spent more than four and a half decades resting in Gordon & MacPhail’s Elgin warehouses. The long slumber has embroidered Strathisla’s gentle, honey-malt DNA with sumptuous layers of dried fruit, polished antique oak and warming spice. Bottled in the company’s elegant “Rare Vintage” style at 43 % ABV (natural colour, non-chill-filtered), only a limited parcel of bottles was released—offering an exquisite slice of Speyside history for collectors and sherried-malt devotees alike.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • A majestic 46-year-old Strathisla, matured its entire life in richly seasoned sherry butts for unparalleled depth.

  • Bottled in 2012 by Gordon & MacPhail, famed for their custodianship of long-aged Speyside casks.

  • Natural colour and non-chill-filtered, capturing the whisky’s full body, aroma and graceful complexity.

  • A highly limited release that exemplifies the pinnacle of mature sherry influence—perfect for connoisseurs seeking a timeless Speyside masterpiece.

Savour this remarkable Strathisla and immerse yourself in nearly half a century of Speyside craftsmanship—where honeyed malt, opulent sherry richness and antique oak unite in a dram of enduring elegance.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Opulent notes of fig preserve, ripe date and oloroso-soaked raisin are entwined with beeswax, orange peel and hints of rose-scented mahogany. Palate: Silky waves of dark chocolate truffle, treacle toffee and fruitcake glide across the tongue, balanced by soft cinnamon, nutmeg and Strathisla’s signature honeyed malt core. Finish: Long, warming and deeply refined—lingering sherry-soaked fruit, mellow oak tannin and a final whisper of sweet pipe-tobacco and polished leather.
