Mortlach 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

Always a highly-prized foundation for blends – hence its relative obscurity - this official bottling comes packaged in a stunning heavy-set decanter and beautifully gift boxed. The distillery style is typically masculine, full bodied and plush with dried fruits.

Other reviews… Deep amber in color with the green glints of first-fill sherry, this has bosky notes and meat—mutton and venison—plus graphite, bitter chocolate, and wet rock before layers of dried stone fruits and date. This is the most savory and Bovril-like of the new range. The palate is feral and earthy; think mushroom with game pie, and rowan berries. Deep, but with more dimensions than the previous 16 year old which, in comparison, seems like a blunt instrument. 43.4% Alc./Vol.
