Distilled at the oldest Highland Malt distillery in Scotland on 1st November 1957, this unique Speyside single malt was matured for many years at the Strathisla distillery after being personally selected by John Urquhart, until it was transferred to Gordon and MacPhail's warehouses in Elgin in the year 1985 and bottled in a small edition on 15th July 2011. The independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail bottled the single malts for many distilleries decades ago and has a large stock of old top whiskies as well as many great rarities. Each distillery was given an individual label, which was often considered the original bottling because no other bottlings existed and Gordon and MacPhail bottled this Strathisla under licence, hence the old original label on the bottle.
A great and rare first fill sherry butt matured vintage 1957 53 years Strathisla Speyside single malt Scotch whisky and an exclusive piece of whisky history bottled in the year 2011 by Gordon and MacPhail in the distillery label limited single cask edition series. An exclusive highlight and rare expression for connoisseurs, discerning whisky collectors and lovers of exquisite old Scotch whiskies.
