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.

As someone who usually goes for highland malts, I loved this scotch. Just a shame they export so little outside of Scotland itself. That said, I have seen other bottling companies do recaskings- up here in Canada I've seen Gordon and MacPhail (a somewhat common recasker/distributer up here) do a recasking of a Mortlach 15.
I just love this - glad I've two bottles in the cupboard
By far one of the best drams of the year so far
Forgot to give a star rating to my review above titled - A beautiful dram
A truly majestic experience, fully recommended. 92/100
