Stronachie Whisky
Lost in time, but not in spirit
"The obliteration is Total. Only the name remains. 'So ends the story of Stranachie, one of the legendary names in the annals of Vanished Distilleries.

The Loss
Like numerous other similar distilleries in the early 1920's, Stronachie was closed down and around 1930 dismantled.
Today there is little evidence of where the distillery once stood except for a small area of low stone walls.
The story of Stronachie doesn’t end here however ...
The Revival
Matched to a distillery that reflected the style, character and flavour of that original malt. We feel that the Stronachie 12yo Single Highland Malt of today has in its character the heritage of a bygone age and as near as possible reflects the style and elegance of the Lost Distillery.

I have a vague family connection with the original Stronachie Distillery. Good to see the name back. A good aperitif. - Dave Broom 'Whisky Magazine'

EXTRAS. . .
Tasting Notes :Nose : Initial whiffs of sour dough elapse to form a back bone of spiced fruit flavours. Apples and raisins. Perhaps some pear drops. Pronounced and quite sweet with the addition of water.
Taste : Firm and well rounded. Medium to full bodied with good depth of flavour. Spicy and invigorating. Spiced fruit cake with an abundance of raisins. Cinnamon and cloves. Sweet woody notes and prominent peat smoke evolve in the mouth to leave a drying aftertaste.
Finish : Great length on the finish . Peaty aftertaste. Very appetizing.
