Mortlach Gordon & MacPhail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery edges and a mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent and refined, this Mortlach unfurls with dark plum, fig and raisin, swathed in velvet sherry. Notes of toffee, cocoa and caramel mingle with orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Subtle leather and polished oak thread through a warm, resinous backbone, while a hint of espresso lingers, announcing a poised, luxurious aroma.

Palate

Silky and substantial, it coats the palate with dark fig and raisin, sherry-soaked plum, and velvety cocoa. Rich toffee and caramel mingle with a savoury beefy depth and a whisper of leather, while spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts over oaken sweetness. The finish is long and warm, chocolatey and nutty, with a subtle saline lift that lingers.

Finish

Long, luxurious, and warming, the finish lingers with velvet ease. Dried fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate, leather and spice, brightened by orange zest. Sherry depth smooths into toasted oak, leaving a refined, lingering warmth that invites another sip.
