Mortlach The Managers Dram Whisky 19 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and burnished copper highlights.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-kissed nose; dark plum and ripe fig mingle with raisin and date, lifted by orange zest and a touch of burnt sugar. Rich cocoa, toffee and espresso echo toasted almond, leather and a hint of cigar box. Subtle vanilla, warm oak spices—clove, nutmeg, cinnamon—thread through, suggesting a plush, winey depth.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this Mortlach coats the palate with dark fruit and velvety toffee. Raisin, fig and plum mingle with chocolate and orange zest, underpinned by sherried spice. A waxy, mouth-coating texture lingers, while leather, cinnamon and clove add warmth and structure for a long, savory finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherry sweetness and confident spice. Dark chocolate and dried fig unfold with orange zest, while velvety oak and a whisper of leather linger. A rich, substantial finish that coats the palate with dried fruit, cocoa, and lingering warmth at natural cask strength.
