Strathisla 1973 16 Year Old is a Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, known for its rich and complex flavor profiles. With an ABV of 62.3%, this whisky showcases the high alcohol content typical of cask strength expressions. Strathisla distillery is one of the oldest in the region, established in 1786, and is recognized for producing smooth and elegant single malts.
Rich and complex with notes of dried fruits, honey, and a hint of oak, complemented by a subtle spiciness and floral undertones.
Full-bodied with layers of dark chocolate, ripe cherries, and a touch of vanilla, balanced by a warming spice and a hint of citrus zest.
Long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak, and a gentle sweetness.
An exceptional expression showcasing the depth and character of Strathisla, with a harmonious balance between sweetness and spice.

The Scottish Highlands' Strathisla Distillery is the region's oldest distillery still in operation. George Taylor and Alexander Milne established it as the Milltown Distillery in 1786 as a substitute for the declining flax dressing business. The Earl of Seafield granted them a lease on the property. William Longmore, subsequently known as William Longmore Ltd., controlled the distillery by 1830. The distillery was severely damaged by fire in 1879, but it was rebuilt with a bottling facility. It was purchased by dishonest businessman Jay Pomeroy in 1940, and James Barclay of Chivas Bros. afterwards bought it. The Speyside Cooperage, a historic distillery (Dallas Dhu, now a museum), and seven active Speyside distilleries are all part of Scotland's Malt Whisky Trail. Visitors may take a tour of the 'traditional storehouse where the single malts that make up the premium and super premium blends are housed [and] give a rich, nutty, balanced whiskey,' according to a BBC report.
