Mortlach 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Manufacturer's Notes: The Beast of Dufftown ~ 2.81 Distilled.

Utilizing a fiendishly COMPLEX DISTILLATION process unlike any other. Three wash stills and three spirit stills -- each unique in shape and size -- distill, cut and distill again, precisely 2.81 times to create the distinctive rich and bold character of MORTLACH.

For 70 years MORTLACH was the best kept secret in the world of whisky. During this time it was almost exclusivelyused as the cornerstone of the 20th century's most ICONIC BLENDED Scotch Whiskies. Even our distillers, coopers and labourers could only enjoy their creation layered amongst other whiskies of Scotland.

Finally in 1992 we decided it was time to unleash "THE BEAST OF DUFFTOWN" and release an elegant 16 YEAR OLD so a fortunate few, including our distillery workers, could experience that uniquely complex character or MORTLACH.

This SINGLE MALT Scotch Whisky is inspired by the iconic and rewarding first bottling of the 16 YEAR OLD RELEASE. It has been matured in only Sherry casks to impart SPICY and SWEET notes atop the beauty complexity synonymous with MORTLACH.

Cask: 100% Ex-Sherry Cask
Taste: Intense, rich and spicy with hints of clove, nutmeg and dark berries, leading to a lingering, surprisingly sweet yet dry finish.
Serve: A drop or two of water to release the sweetness and spice.
