Mortlach

1994 Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Prima & Ultima First Release

70cl / 55.1% ABV

Distilled in 1994 at 25 years old, this natural cask strength whisky has been drawn from one very special cask, number 2652. This unrepeatably rare opportunity to enjoy the style of mature Mortlach that made it famous as “The Beast of Dufftown” comes from one of our very last 1994 first-fill Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso seasoned European Oak butts.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep amber, with crimson lights.

Body

Full Bodied.

Nose

The aromas are tightly integrated, with a yeasty, nutty, vinous note bringing to mind mincemeat pies, fig jam and fruit squares; dusty, with a suggestion of charred wood in the base and perhaps a hint of treacle toffee.

Palate

The taste is soft and richly textured, intense and sweet then drying in taste with a gentle yet insistent spiciness and a really meaty feel.

Finish

The finish is long and very gently drying, with rich sweetness and a smoky note.
