Tasting Notes

Imagine taking a stroll through an ancient oak forest, the air filled with the fragrant notes of sun-kissed sandalwood and warm cinnamon sticks. That's the experience you'll have with Strathisla 15 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish (Darkness). This rich, indulgent whisky invites you to savor its sweet, spiced mocha aroma, punctuated by hints of caramel and supple leather. On the palate, the woody spice takes center stage, accompanied by buttery shortbread, plump sultanas, and a delightful biscuity maltiness. As the flavors linger, the finish unveils a dense tapestry of clove, candied orange, fruity pastries, and a whisper of cigar box spice. This exquisite dram has spent its final days in a tiny Pedro Ximénez sherry octave, allowing the whisky to deeply embrace the cask's luscious influence.
