Mortlach 20 yr Distillery Edition 43.4% 750ml Single Malt Scotch Whisky
| Description: | Mortlach 12 Years (good) and Mortlach 16 Years (excellent). The only one missing from the 2018 core range relaunch is the Mortlach 20 Years, matured exclusively in American oak ex-Sherry casks, with a percentage of refill wood. It is nicknamed Cowie's Blue Seal which refers to one of the original bottlings of Mortlach, launched in 1909 and available until the 1970s. Nose: a nicely bright / sour fruitiness up front, think juicy apricots, pineapple and hints of lychee. Hints of a carpenter's workshop, oiliness and waxed papers. Orange flower honey and very faint potpourri too. Underneath is a darker side, with just a little earthiness and milk chocolate. Mouth: quite mild, not to say a little weak. It shows orange juice and bitter orange peels, vanilla, mint oil, candied ginger and some plums. A good dose of oaky notes (spices, resin and herbal tea). Heather and clove. Finish: medium length, earthier, oakier, with orange oil and cocoa. |
