Mortlach Prima & Ultima Second Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old · 1995 Vintage
In stock
Taken from a single very special 1995 Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso seasoned European Oak butt, this 25-Year-Old tames the meaty, robust strength of Mortlach. Known as ‘The Lone Wolf’ for standing out from the pack, this whisky is exceptionally complex and rich.
The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; “This is a rare opportunity to glimpse a nobler, deeper side to the whisky famous as “The Beast of Dufftown”. It is, quite simply, delicious; a magnificent, many-layered mature malt with a character as individual as that of the uniquely complex distillery in which it was made.”.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany-amber with a burnished copper glow.
Nose
At natural strength, the nose is rich and complex, unfolding a cascade of dried-fruit aromas—raisins, figs, dates—woven with orange zest, plum and cherry. Sherry-soaked oak yields toffee, cocoa and spice, a warm, fragrant envelope that hints at the PX/Oloroso casks and Mortlach’s distinctive, beastly depth.
Palate
Lightly oaky with a gentle drying bite and impeccably controlled tannins. Sherry-influenced sweetness threads through ripe fruit with subtle acidity, keeping the palate balanced and poised. A touch of water softens the sweetness while revealing a noble, multi-layered finish of refined depth.
Finish
Lightly oaky and very lightly drying, it has well-controlled tannins. A drop of water evens it out, the sweetness still balanced by fruity acidity. It is, quite simply, delicious; a magnificent, many-layered mature malt with a character as individual as that of the uniquely complex distillery in which it was made.
