We made a quick stop to make our own Chivas Regal Blend at their Speyside home, the beautiful Strathisla Distillery, and one of the best things i got out of there was a very rare 16yo Expression, finished in a Cognac Butt. This was the bottle 515 of only 840, distilled on february 9, 2006; and bottled on december 1st, 2022. The strength of it is a lovely 54.4%abv. On the nose, quite complex; Peaches & sawdust, Vanilla meringue sweets, marshmallow. Tobacco & peaches. A rounded coffee with toffee flavor. Pineapple y dulce de leche. Toffee & grass. Wonderful. On the palate, Tobacco, grass, toffee, pineapple. Sugary. Very grassy. Hay. Aftertaste is all about Peaches. Salty y sugary. Overall, this was a very interesting surprise from Strathisla, which in previous expressions i have felt that it was overly nutty. The higher abv truly benefited this dram. My score for it is 90 over a 100.
