Mortlach 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Description

Nose

Opens with a burst of rich sherry influence, offering aromas of dark fruits like raisins, plums, and figs. Hints of honey and treacle add a touch of sweetness, while a whisper of Christmas spice like cinnamon and nutmeg peeks through in the background. The signature Mortlach “beastly” character might emerge as a subtle earthy note.

Palate

The sherry influence continues on the palate, with a wave of dark fruit flavors like plums and raisins. Notes of honey and toffee add a touch of sweetness, complemented by the warming spices from the nose. The “beastly” character becomes more apparent here, offering a layer of rich and meaty complexity.

Finish

Long and lingering with notes of dried fruit, spice, and a touch of oak dryness. The “beastly” character lingers subtly, leaving a memorable impression.
