Some views of Strathisla Distillery and Standing Stones
This is distillery number 15 for me. As it happened, I was able to catch a train from Dufftown to Strathisla and back. It's not very far and the Strathisla distillery is easy to find. The timing of the trains even allowed for some extra time after the distillery tour. This is when I visited the standing stones and the local pub. I found it to be a very enjoyable afternoon's outing.
As you can see from one of the photos, Strathisla is the home of Chivas Regal, a well known blended Scotch. The tour was very well done and the tasting room was like a gentleman's club with big leather chairs and couches.
Chivas 12 year old. A very pleasant whisky. smooth tasting with a nice finish
Chivas 18 year old. rich, smooth, hint of smoke, light finish
Strathisla 12 year old. sweet, nutty, oaky, vanilla, honey
All three of these whiskies are most enjoyable. They are welcome in my drinks cabinet.
