Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden-amber with warm honey tones and sunlit copper highlights.
Nose
Vanilla sweetness with a touch of honey and gentle spice ascend from the glass, supported by oak. Mortlach’s meaty, weighty character lingers, yet the bourbon cask brightens and smooths the bouquet for a warm, inviting aroma.
Palate
On the palate it reveals creamy vanilla and golden honey, layered with subtle spice and a refined oak backbone. Mortlach’s characteristic meaty, weighty tenor remains, yet is brightened by citrus zest and a touch of toffee, delivering a smooth, chewy texture with generous grip. A warm, lingering finish of vanilla and clove, underpinned by polished oak.
Finish
Long, creamy finish of vanilla sweetness and gentle spice, carried by warm oak. Bourbon maturation brightens Mortlach’s meaty core, leaving a polished fade of caramel and a subtle, lingering peppery warmth.
