On the nose it is fragrant with citrus (orange peel), flowers (freesia), spice, and a hint of cream-filled choux pastry. Juicy! Water pulls out more of the weighty malty notes. The palate is a lovely mid-weight in a malt that's softer than the nose initially suggests. Great momentum in the mouth with cranachan, soft baked fruits, fruit cake, syrup, apricot and malt. It dances on the tongue with a finish that bursts into life. Charming, subtle and gorgeous. Thank heavens for boldness and individuality in a world where blandness is always an easier option. This beautiful old distillery in the heart of Speyside is Chivas' showpiece as Strathisla malt is the base of all the Chivas Regal blends.
