Whisky review : Premium Bottlers STRT 101 10 years old (Strathisla). Barrel 101, Bottle No.77 of 379. Bottled @ 46%

-A pure gem of Single Malt and a touch of canadian know-how
-No colouring added, and no chill-filtration
-46%
-Neat clean and sober bottling
-If still available, buy asap.
-Vatted malt from 99% Single Scottish malt and 1% Canadian Single malt


Colour: Bright gazing yellow, pure colour here. Very thin in the glass, very juicy....as the Strathisla should be.

Nose: Barley sugar, hints of floral notes, salt, sour apple mash, light minthy caramel toffee, apple vinegar.

Mouth: Sweet, arrival, very juicy, thin, but acidic, apples, Chili, pear, straw, caramel, light buttery notes. In this regard, might be compared to a Lowland whisky.

Finish: Leaves some bitter notes, bitter cucumber, green sappy wood, sweet, leaves more a feeling than a taste. Quite acidic by moments.

A for the price. For a ''dead'' producer, 51$ is a give away (yes it's called Still Water now) Only a few bottles left....I might buy another one. Look out for their other bottlings : BLAT....BRIN....Higher prices, could be well worth looking for as these from prime distilleries. (before they disappear)
B for the taste. It is not very complex whisky. However, worth a try and is very light yet flavourful malt to enjoy.
A for the presentation. Clean bottle. Mentions everything we would like to know.
