The distillery has six stills - three wash stills and three spirit stills - all different sizes. This gives them the ability to make slightly different styles of spirit. Mortlach whisky has a strong reputation with both drinkers of single malts and blenders due to the high quality of spirit distilled there.
This single malt Scotch Whisky is inspired by the iconic and rewarding first bottling of the 16 year old released in 1992. It has been matured in only Sherry casks to impart rich, fruity, and fragrant notes atop the beasty complexity synonymous with Mortlach.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Deep amber.
Body - Robust and full. Palate coating.
Nose - Bold and complex. Stewed black orchard fruits with earthiness and spice.
Palate - Robust and full - palate-coating texture. Light, leathery spiciness, notes of apricot and honey. Sweet and savoury, with a dark, full and rounded intensity.
Finish - Long and complex, with a surprising sweetening at the finish.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
