Mortlach Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 34 Year Old · 1981 Vintage
Out of stock
A Mortlach single malt bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, this 34 year-old was distilled in 1981 and matured in oak before being released in 2015 at 43% ABV. Mortlach’s spirit is renowned for its rich, concentrated character and depth, a result of the distillery’s distinctive distillation regime that produces a robust, layered profile.
Decades in oak bring mature dried fruit, gentle spice and rounded oak nuance that support the distillery’s core notes of malt sweetness and dark orchard fruit.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-tinged edges and a warm honey-gold core, accented by mahogany flashes.
Nose
Rich dried fruits—prune, fig and date—invite the nose, threaded with gentle spice and a rounded oak polish. Malt sweetness anchors the profile as dark orchard fruits, especially plum and blackberry, unfold against a refined sherried oak backdrop.
Palate
Luxuriously dense and multi-layered, the palate blends malt sweetness with mature dried fruit and dark orchard notes. Gentle spice and rounded oak add warmth and structure, delivering a long finish where plum, fig and subtle cocoa linger.
Finish
Long, indulgent finish with mature dried fruit, gentle spice and rounded oak weaving through malt sweetness. Dark orchard fruit lingers as a warm, resinous oak echo gradually fades into lacquered sweetness and a refined spice trail.
