What's in a name? Mortlach 16 Year Old - Flora and Fauna whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Mortlach 16 Year Old - Flora and Fauna whiskey, rather than whisky.
The nose is quite fresh and floral, with developing smoke. Notes of rubber spearmint leaves and gentle smoke with a hint of warm kippers. The palate is very well-balanced and the flavours firm and full. Notes of heather root and gentle wafting smoke with toffee sweetness. Juicy and thoroughly chewy sultanas and mixed peels with a hint of amontillado. The finish is long and well-smoked with oaken warmth. ...more
The Master of Malt

Almost as good as benrinnes 15 F&F!
Whoopie
While I am not an expert by any means in the ways and means of Single Malt Scotch, in my 75 years on the planet, I cannot recall having enjoyed a wee dram of any other as last night when a friend shared opening of MORTLACH (16 yr)he picked up when visiting last week at the British Open. Absolutely the finest.....my compliments!!!!! Tony Vydra, Fayetteville, PA, USA
The best ever
Wonderful. The best whisky I have drunk so far.
Watch out, Macallan
And people buy Macallan over this? I, too, love Macallan, but this M16 takes the cake. Highly recommended!

Won my taste test
I was recently touring distilleries in Scotland and signed up for a connoisseurs tasting. This one was my winner. Brought some home and now I'm crying because I haven't been able to find it in the U.S.
