Mortlach Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #426 Whisky 33 Year Old · 1987 Vintage
Out of stock
Distilled on 5 February 1987 and bottled on 26 January 2021 at 55.6% ABV, this 33-year-old Mortlach was drawn from a refill sherry hogshead (cask #426) for Gordon & MacPhail’s long-running Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength series and yielded 182 bottles.
Three decades in sherry wood have given the whisky impressive depth while allowing Mortlach’s famously robust Speyside character – often nicknamed “The Beast of Dufftown” – to shine through.
