A full-bodied, sherried single malt from Mortlach, matured for 16 years and released as part of the Flora and Fauna series.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Please note there is some minor damage to the label
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.
My absolute favorite, too bad it's not sold in Sweden, thank heaven for Master of Malt.
And people buy Macallan over this? I, too, love Macallan, but this M16 takes the cake. Highly recommended!
Wonderful. The best whisky I have drunk so far.
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
Almost as good as benrinnes 15 F&F!
