Mortlach 20 Year Old Whisky 70cl, 43.4%

An undisputed star of Speyside, this is a distillery which has previously shunned the limelight, being a highly coveted 'cult status' dram.

Matured solely in sherry casks, the whisky has been crafted to match rich and dark sherry character against old, refined oaky notes.

The oldest of three Mortlach single malts unveiled in mid-2018, this expression matured for 20 years exclusively in sherry casks. Intensely flavoursome stuff (as we've come to expect from Mortlach).

An undisputed star of Speyside, this is a distillery which has previously shunned the limelight, being a highly coveted ‘cult status’ dram, thanks to its bold flavour profile and maturation within predominantly European oak sherry casks.

Founded in 1823, this Speysider was the playground for George Cowie -  and after that, Alexander Cowie, who pioneered the distillery’s famed technique of ‘2.81 times distillation’, rather than the traditional method of double distillation, which is still in practice today: resulting in a spirit full of character and power.

Mortlach continues to be one of the region’s most mysterious distilleries and will no doubt retain its cult status for many years to come. Known as the ‘Beast of Dufftown’, the whisky is legendary robust. So much so that the Generations 75 year old came from this distillery, a feat only achievable when great casks and great spirit are truly well matched.
