Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 2012
Sherry
This intensely sherried Mortlach single malt joins the Notable Age Statements series from indie bottler Decadent Drinks. Distilled in 2012, the whisky spent almost eight years resting in hogsheads, before being transferred to first-fill sherry butts to finish off its 10-year maturation. Bottled at cask strength, its a big, bold, meaty sherry monster!
Huge helpings of sticky sherried fruit and dense, leathery oak, with aged fruit cake and a touch of cured meat.
Stewed blackberries and plums join robust malt, with chocolate-coated coffee beans and praline cushioning woody spice.
A big bold finish with more earthy coffee and spice, sprinkles of cacao, and maple syrup.
