Strathisla 2009 46% Distillery Label (IB, Gordon & Macphail)

TLDR;

Smooth, creamy sweet and pepper.

Nice scale: 82/100

Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in Scotland and the heart of Chivas. The first time I tried was during Whisky Live; the gentleman over at the counter passionately introduced it as the legendary distillery. Aw, man.

And I thought it would be good to refresh this legendary distillery by trying the G&M Strathisla 2009 Distillery Label.

Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2022 at an ABV of 46%.

Nose: Brown sugar, vanilla, damp wood, apple and spice. Light honey in between as well.

Mouth: Smooth, creamy and sweet. And slowly, the peppery expression starts to show. You do feel the thickness of it.

Finish: Some oiliness still remains with herbs.

A simple drink to enjoy.

Nice scale: 82/100
