Mortlach 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Inspired by the illustrious original that was made for only a fortunate few. For 70 years Mortlach was the best kept secret in the world of whisky. From 1923 until 1992 our robust and complex whisky was used as the cornerstone of some of the 20th century's most iconic scotch whisky blends. Even the distillery workers were only able to taste the fruits of their labours layered amongst other whiskies of Scotland.

However, at the beginning of the 1990's Mortlach's fate changed course forever. We decided it was time to unleash "The Beast of Dufftown" and release a 16 year old so a fortunate few, including our distillery workers, could enjoy Mortlach unadulterated and at its most elegant. This Single Malt Scotch Whisky is inspired by the iconic and rewarding first bottling of the 16 year old released in 1992. It has been matured in only Sherry casks to impart rich, fruity and fragrant notes atop the beasty complexity synonymous with Mortlach.

Uniquely 2.81 times distilled. Inspired by the first 16 year old release in 1992. Matured only in Sherry casks for rich, fruity and fragrant notes atop the beast complexity known to Mortlach.

A bit of history

Alexander Cowie was a brave outsider. A doctor in a distiller’s world. A man bolder than most. We continue to do things our way, crafting our own traditions, just like Alexander did to forge a unique way to a bigger Scotch. "Big flavour without big smoke". Its character harks back to a time when whiskies were bigger, bolder, darker. It is the earthy, meaty roots of Speyside. Its flavour is not what people expect from Speyside but it is a flavour which is gaining in popularity – and is rarely found. At the foundation of many famous blends is this throwback to the old days, to days before Dufftown even existed. It is the dark reduction of whisky to some primal essence.” Dave Broom, Whisky Writer".
