Tasting Notes

a black hole of sweet fruit cake dwarfed by rocket fudge, tobacco and rosewater. Telescopic sherry soaked raisins eclipsed by magnetic spices and a meteoric dry oak finish.

Strathmill Back Home, Almost 14 Year Old 2006 is a richly characterful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, released to commemorate the historic Apollo 10 mission—the full dress rehearsal for the first Moon landing. Fifty-one years ago, the Lunar Module Snoopy descended to within just 15 kilometres of the Moon’s surface before re-docking with the Command Module Charlie Brown. As the spacecraft reunited, pilot Eugene Cernan famously exclaimed: “Man, we is back home. Almost.”

To honour this pivotal moment in space exploration, The Whisky Barrel selected a single sherry butt, distilled in 2006 and bottled in October 2020. This limited-edition release yielded just 685 individually numbered bottles, making it a rare and collectible expression, exclusive to The Whisky Barrel.

Matured in sherry wood, this Strathmill delivers warmth, depth, and sweetness—mirroring the emotion, anticipation, and triumph of a mission that brought humanity one step closer to walking on the Moon.

The Distillery

Strathmill
Strathmill Distillery, originally established by John Keith in 1825, operated until 1829 before being converted into a corn mill. In 1891, the site was reconverted into a distillery, nestled between the River Isla and the Great North of Scotland Railway on the outskirts of Keith. Equipped with four stills and retaining its traditional pagoda roofs, Strathmill produces malt whisky primarily for blending, contributing to some of Scotland’s most famous blends. As a result, official releases are rare, making Strathmill a hidden treasure in Scotland's Speyside whisky region.
