77
- Nose
- Hazelnuts. White pepper. An echo of fresh paint. Light fruit then fudge. Orange chocolate.
- Palate
- Tangy. Gingery. Quiet one-dimensional. Almond cake.
- Finish
- Spicy, slowly fading on creamy toffee.
- Comment
- More complexity on the nose than on the palate. A pleasant whisky though. But quite disappointing for a Strathisla of that age.
77
- Nose
- Fragrant. Grass, bracken and lemon peel. In time mead-like, spiced apple cider, coconut. Deep but perfumed.
- Palate
- Sweet start, mixing syrup, spices, apple, glacé cherry and sweet grasses. Well-balanced.
- Finish
- Slightly bitter nuttiness.
- Comment
- Highly attractive. Worth having a look at.
