MORTLACH 20 Year Old. The elegant oldie in the Mortlach range, channeling The Beast of Dufftown (the distillery’s nickname) into a more refined form. Matured solely in sherry casks, the whisky has been crafted to match rich and dark sherry character against old, refined oaky notes. It’s one to take time with, well-balanced and complex, with much more going on than you might expect.
TASTING NOTES:
Aroma: Dense, elegant & intriguing. Dried fruit, cedarwood, leather, and tobacco.
Palate: Robust palate with a coating of oiliness. Aromatic citrus. Hints of wood spice opening into a dark, meatiness of barbecue pork crackling. Berries, jam & cocoa nibs add brightness.
Finish: Deep and complex, with gingerbread, raisin, and a hint of liquorice.
