Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and a mahogany edge.
Nose
An opulent bouquet of stewed fruits: sour cherries, rum-soaked raisins and overripe plums, folded with clove and cinnamon. Marmalade and rich caramel sauce lend generous sweetness, while a whisper of wood spice threads through, hinting at the whisky’s elegant, sherried maturity.
Palate
Silky and expansive, this Mortlach coats the palate with stewed fruit—sour cherries, rum-soaked raisins and overripe plums—brightened by marmalade and rich caramel. Clove and cinnamon spice weave through the sweetness, while a gentle wood spice adds depth and a long, refined finish.
Finish
An enduring, luxurious finish of stewed fruits—sour cherries, rum-soaked raisins and overripe plums—complemented by marmalade and rich caramel. Spiced notes of clove and cinnamon unfold, with a whisper of wood spice rounding the edge, leaving a warm, refined echo that lingers elegantly on the palate.
