Mortlach 16 Years Old Single Malt Whisky

70cl

Single malt

Inspired by the illustrious original that was made for only a fortunate few. For 70 years Mortlach was the best-kept secret in the world of whiskey. From 1923 until 1992 our robust and complex whiskey was used as the cornerstone of some of the 20th Century’s most iconic Scotch Whisky Blends. Even the distillery workers were only able to taste the fruits of their labors layered amongst other whiskeys of Scotland. However, at the beginning of the 1990s Mortlach’s fate changed course forever. We decided it was time to unleash “The Beast of Dufftown” and release a 16-year-old so a fortunate few, including our distillery workers, could enjoy Mortlach unadulterated and at its most elegant. This single malt Scotch Whisky is inspired by the iconic and rewarding first bottling of the 16-year-old released in 1992. It has been matured in only Sherry casks to impart rich, fruity and fragrant notes atop the beasty complexity synonymous with Mortlach.

Robust and complete. Coating of the palate

Gingersnaps and orange peel, with hints of roast chestnut, apple and blackcurrant pie and quince.

Mature oak from the outset, joined by prune, clove, macadamia nut and a slight touch of baked earth.
