{"product_id":"mortlach-second-fill-macallan-sherry-hogshead-2026","title":"Mortlach Second Fill Macallan Sherry Hogshead 2026","description":"Founded in 1823 in Dufftown, Mortlach is one of Speyside`s most revered distilleries and is often referred to as \"The Beast of Dufftown\" due to its unusually rich and muscular spirit character. The distillery`s distinctive 2.81-times distillation process creates a robust, meaty new make that has long been prized by blenders for adding depth and complexity to premium Scotch whiskies.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThese casks were filled on 25 May 2026 into 2nd Fill Sherry Hogsheads at a filling strength of 63.5% ABV. Mortlach`s rich, full-bodied spirit is exceptionally well suited to sherry maturation, allowing the whisky to develop layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate, roasted nuts and warming spice whilst retaining the distillery`s signature weight and savoury complexity. A second-fill sherry cask provides a more balanced maturation than a fresh sherry cask, allowing the distillery character to remain at the forefront while gradually building elegance and depth over time. With approximately 229 to 248 bulk litres remaining in each cask, these represent an attractive opportunity to acquire young spirit from one of Speyside`s most respected names at the very start of its maturation journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mortlach","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62428018114890,"sku":"HED10124","price":3995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED10124.jpg?v=1781912719","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/mortlach-second-fill-macallan-sherry-hogshead-2026","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
