Strathisla 1997/2012 Chivas Brothers Cask Strength Edition 14 Year Single Highland Malt 50 cl 59.3%
Strathisla 1997 is a rare and sought‑after Highland single malt that showcases the distillery’s classic, fruit‑driven style in its purest and most powerful form. This 50 cl edition comes from Chivas Brothers’ exclusive Cask Strength Edition series, where the whisky is presented exactly as it is from the cask – no added water, no filtration, and natural colour.
Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2012 at 14 years of age, this Strathisla delivers an intense and deep flavour experience, where sherry influence, ripe fruit, and the distillery’s characteristic oily sweetness come together. At 59.3%, it offers plenty of strength, yet the balance is impressive – a whisky that can be enjoyed neat or opened up with a few drops of water.
The nose offers warm notes of dried fruits, raisins, dark honey, and spiced oak. The palate brings rich malt, caramel, ripe apples, nuts, and an elegant sherry sweetness lifted by a gentle spicy edge. The finish is long, warm, and creamy with lingering fruit, oak, and a deep, classic Highland profile.
Strathisla 1997/2012 is a bottle for collectors and enthusiasts seeking an authentic experience from one of Scotland’s oldest and most iconic distilleries – in a release that rarely appears on the market.
