Legends Untold Chapter 2 - Elusive Expressions
A wonderfully intense, structured Mortlach that ensnares the meaty “Beast of Dufftown” in a deep, spicy, ruby-red fruitiness forged in a highly unusual combination of maturation casks. This legendary Whisky was finished in a combination of Virgin Oak, Tawny Port and Red Muscat wine casks enhancing its dark and richly layered intensity.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Robust savoury aromas rise, evoking a hearty cassoulet of haricots, tomatoes, spicy sausage and crisp pork belly. Grape and red wine weave through the meatiness, then lean toward a mineral edge as the nose evolves. A splash of water softens the spiciness and lifts rounded, wine-accented sweet red fruit, hinting at the cask-driven depth to come.
Palate
Rich and smoothly mouth-filling in texture, while the deep and intense taste is sweetly fruity rather than meaty, and spicy-dry, as the virgin oak makes its presence felt. Magnificently lively, with a richly layered taste, in which hints of ginger lead a spicy dance. A dash of water fashions a delicious, harmonious and strong marriage between fruitiness and black pepper spiciness.
Finish
Long and deeply impressive, with power, fruit and black pepper in perfect harmony, a spicy kick as it goes down and a warming glow preading across the palate. Finally, the palate is left dry, bathed in a glorious afterglow. A drop of water adds a dash of acidity.
