Mortlach 30 yr Midnight Malt 49.8% 700ml Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky; Special Order
| Description: | History,. The famously meaty Mortlach is a world apart from the light and fruity aromas Speyside is typically known for, and this impressive 30 Year Old, subtitled Midnight Malt, is embracing that. It's matured in refill American oak and European oak, before being split between three different cask types for a finishing period: Bordeaux wine, Calvados, and Guatemalan rum. That's a cask trio you don't see every day! The result is a complex mix of peppery spice, orchard fruits, and chocolate flavours, with a release of just 350 limited bottles. Tasting Notes,. Nose: A mellow nose with some initial prickle. This settles in time to reveal a savoury and faintly herbal top note, suggesting pork crackling sprinkled with dry sage. Palate: A richly winey, apple fruity and mouth-watering start delights the palate, backed by a long spicy intensity with a delicious black pepper note that really persists. Finish: Long, sweet and deep-flavoured, with a light peppery spiciness. With water, still sweet and softer, with the spicy heat joined by a suggestion of mint chocolate in the lingering aftertaste. |
