Mortlach 16 YO (43.4%, 70cl)

DESCRIPTION

Part of a trio of expressions announced in 2018, this 16 year old Mortlach single malt is drawn from sherry casks - the rich sweetness complements the intense spirit that the distillery is known for. Expect dark fruit, treacle and punchy Christmas spice notes from this one...

TASTING NOTES

• Nose: Gingersnaps and orange peel, with hints of roast chestnut, apple and blackcurrant pie and quince
• Palate: Mature oak from the outset, joined by prune, clove, macadamia nut and a slight touch of baked earth
• Finish: Lingering oily walnut and chewy raisin notes. More ginger appears later on.
