Tasting Notes

Imagine diving into a decadent dessert, where every sip unveils a symphony of flavors that tantalizes your taste buds. The Strathisla 13 Year Old Moscatel Cask Finish (Darkness) is a true masterpiece, a whisky that celebrates the art of patience and craftsmanship. Aged for an exquisite 13 years, this single malt spent its final moments nestled in a Moscatel sherry octave cask, allowing it to absorb the essence of the wood and create a harmonious dance of flavors. The nose is a delightful overture, greeting you with a medley of fruity notes – apple, quince, raisin, and cherry – mingled with subtle whispers of heather and oak. As the liquid caresses your palate, a rich tapestry of brown sugar and coffee notes unfolds, complemented by the refreshing sweetness of fresh peach and stewed plum. The grand finale, a lingering finish that leaves you craving for more, is a spicy burst of black pepper, clove, and cinnamon.
