Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich amber gold; good viscosity with slow-forming legs. Deep and alluring colour from sherry cask influence
Nose
Rancio, toasted granola, almonds, and matchsticks. Dark fruits, honey, and caramel candies. Apricots, cinnamon and leather, followed by a touch of tobacco. Sulphury edge with pencil eraser — the signature Mortlach meatiness
Palate
Massive texture, almost chewable. Figs, white chocolate, cardamom. Savoury with a hint of orange peel, marzipan, and nutmeg. Dried cherries, stewed pears, cranberry, smoked soy sauce, dark toffee. Rich and balanced
Finish
Long, sweet, and coating finish. Drying spice with lingering dark fruit and toffee. The meaty distillery character persists through the finish with a warm glow
