Nose
Very Spicy indeed. Violets. Almonds. Palate
Creamy coffee. Espresso with a twist of lemon peel. Finish
Twist of lemon peel. Woody but not musty. To me, that is a distinctive element of Strathisla. It reminds me of the taste of the wooden "spoon" provided with tubs of ice-cream. Comment
Classic Strathisla, in good shape for it's age.

Nose
Dumb to start with. It needs time to build up hints of citrus, honey and then oak. Palate
Soft and muscular but the wood starts drying things a bit too quickly for my liking. Finish
Woody. Comment
Ah well.
