Mortlach Dun Bheagan Single Cask #91111 Whisky 17 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven nose from a Mortlach single cask: dark plum and raisin rise with fig and orange zest, veiled in treacle and toffee. Vanilla and cocoa thread through polished oak, while whispers of leather, tobacco and nutmeg add savory depth. At 47.5%, the aroma is concentrated, elegant, inviting.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Mortlach embraces the palate with rich sherry fruit—raisin, fig and plum—woven with dark chocolate, toffee and a hint of orange zest. Spices rise—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—settling on velvety oak. A savory undercurrent grows, finishing long, warm and refined with elegant leather and polished sweetness.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with dark fruit and chocolate lingering. Sherry-cask depth coats the palate—ripe figs, prunes, and orange zest—giving way to toasted almond, cacao, and espresso. Subtle spice from clove and cinnamon warms with oak, leaving a velvety, enduring warmth that settles into a refined, malty sweetness.
