The Beast of Dufftown is back, and it's continuing to run amok around the peaceful streets! Yes, it's the third bottling of Mortlach single malt independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company! Terrifyingly tasty 18 year old Speyside whisky right here.
Batch 3 is a release of 363 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Honey-roasted nuts and salted crackers. Subtly perfumed, though this is soon balanced by a helping of chewy barley and a few wafts of smoked ham.
Creamy vanilla and fresh red apples. A mixture of caramelised sugar, cinnamon and oak-y embers, leading into drying spices.
Lemongrass, black pepper, toasted malt and yet more caramelised sugar.
Much more honey, honeycomb, and toffee than usual in Mortlach - it's an almost refreshing change to the sometimes overpowering nature of the distillery's make. Delicious all the way, though.
