Strathmill 14 Year Old 2011 Spirit of Scotland (Gordon & MacPhail)

This 2011 vintage Strathmill is a refined example of Speyside elegance, selected and bottled by the independent experts at Gordon & MacPhail for the Spirit of Scotland range. Distilled in 2011 and matured for 14 years in a refill bourbon barrel, this expression highlights the distillery's signature light, floral, and fruit-forward character — a spirit long prized as a key component of the J&B blend.

The use of a refill cask ensures that the delicate distillery style remains the focal point. The nose opens with a bright bouquet of fresh orchard fruits, vanilla, and honeyed malt, accented by a touch of citrus zest. On the palate, the whisky is smooth yet vibrant, offering layers of ripe banana, white chocolate, and sweet pear, balanced by a gentle hint of white pepper. The finish is remarkably clean and cooling, with a soft menthol lift and lingering fruit sweetness.
