Mortlach distillery was established in 1823 and was the first of Dufftown’s seven distilleries to be built. For many years, this top class whisky was only available as independent bottlings yet has always been held in very high regard and both blenders and locals consider it to be one of the very best Speyside malts.
A smooth and powerful whisky with a long and full final with a fully concentrated nose. Slightly smoky camphor, the nose reveals notes of beeswax and flowers. It gives fresh bananas and cream while the taste delivers apples with sweet toffee along with distinct malty notes. It then goes towards spices (pepper) and citrus notes (orange).
