Strathisla 1985 GM Refill Bourbon Barrel #1482 57.8% 700ml information

The Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection is proud to present this exceptional 1985 Strathisla single malt whisky, matured in a single refill bourbon barrel for 35 years and bottled in April 2021. This exquisite Speyside whisky was personally selected by the Urquhart family, who have owned Gordon & MacPhail for four generations, making it a unique and rare addition to any whisky collection.

The whisky offers a vibrant burst of citrus zest, followed by rich vanilla, mature oak, and cocoa powder. Ripe red apple aromas combine with butterscotch, Seville orange peel, and subtle dried tobacco notes. The palate boasts a lemon zestiness, oak, velvety chocolate, and sweet tropical fruit, leading to a long, fruity finish.

This Strathisla 35 Year Old single malt whisky was distilled in June 1985 and matured for the full 35 years in a refill bourbon barrel. It was bottled at a cask strength of 57.8% ABV, yielding just 104 bottles, each presented in a unique hand-blown crystal decanter.

As with all whiskies from the Private Collection, this Strathisla 1985 single malt whisky represents a special moment in Scotland's history of whisky, and a farewell to a cherished family friend.
