This 1949 vintage Mortlach, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, boasts a rich hue, achieved through its entire life spent in a sherry cask. The nose is distinctly intense, featuring sherry notes, fruity sweetness, a touch of wood, spices, beeswax, and a hint of sugar coating. On the palate, the dram is smooth, with floral undertones, notes of milk coffee, a subtle sherry sweetness, a hint of wood, and a fruity character. Bottled in 2001 at more than 50 years old.
Located in Dufftown, at the heart of Speyside, Mortlach was the first legal distillery built in the area when it was founded in 1823. Mortlach has long been known for innovation and quality, distillery manager Alexander Cowie pioneered an unusual 2.81 times distillation over the standard double distillation technique which many say accounts for the bold, concentrated and spicy style that made Mortlach famous.
Distillery bottlings used to be rare, with the vast majority of the production going into Diageo's Johnnie Walker blends, but a recent rebrand and a relaunch has made a number of different age statements available to lovers of this wonderful Speysider. The Mortlach team have a preference for active Sherry casks when it comes to maturation, to match the full flavour of the spirit. A modern classic, the style would appeal to fans of Glen Grant, Macallan and Glenfarclas.
