Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with ruby-red hue from port and Muscat wine cask finishing. Rich and heavy at cask strength
Nose
Robust savoury, rich notes evoking a hearty cassoulet with haricots, tomatoes, spicy sausage, and crisp pork belly. Grape and red wine aromas entwine with meatiness then become more mineral as the nose develops
Palate
Rich and smoothly mouth-filling texture. Deep and intense taste — sweetly fruity rather than meaty. Spicy-dry as virgin oak makes its presence felt. Port and Muscat wine cask influence adds vinous sweetness and berry richness to the Mortlach distillery character
Finish
Long and deeply impressive with power, fruit and black pepper in perfect harmony. Spicy kick as it goes down with a warming glow spreading across the palate. The wine cask influence extends the finish with dried fruit persistence
