This Mortlach was once matured for wealthy distillery character in small batches then carefully finished in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso-seasoned casks to build yet more levels of aroma and taste. Without delay smooth, sweet and savoury, the many-layered outcome mirrors the complexity of the mysterious Mortlach 2.81 distillation itself.
Called the “The Beast of Dufftown” for its robust, meaty nature, little known Mortlach is also the most productive kept secret in Scotch. Bold flavours are the mark of this special breed, distinguishing it as the monarch of its glen as definitely as the bellow of a mature red deer stag.
The aromas run deep, swirling with dark dried fruits and savoury, meaty notes. The feel is super smooth, the serious taste is sweet with wealthy fruit and cured ham, building to a lingering spicy dryness. Long and impressive, the finish in reality emphasizes this harmony of sweetness and spice, leaving the palate dry in a glorious afterglow.
A rare release with very limited availability of 7,692 bottles around the world.
