Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 56.8%
A single cask Strathisla 1987 bottled as a 33-year-old without colouring or chill filtration in 2020 by G&M for their Connoisseur's Choice Cask Strength series.
This 33-year-old Strathisla 1987 came from a refill American hogshead cask that yielded just 174 bottles at its impressive natural cask strength of 56.8%. Strathisla is one of the greatest Speyside distilleries and G&M have been responsible for the vast majority of the best ever bottlings of its whisky. This should be an absolutely beautiful dram.

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
