Mortlach 21 Year Old (Special Release 2020)
For its 2020 Special Releases, Diageo has gone and bottled up a particularly impressive 21 year old single malt from the much-adored Mortlach Distillery! Finished in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry seasoned casks, this expression maintains the classic Mortlach meatiness, though the fruity notes do stand out brilliantly here. A release of 7,692 bottles.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A dram overflowing with rich, dark fruit aromas - raisins, prunes and figs roll from the glass. Then the characteristic Mortlach meatiness comes through, balanced and lifted by lemon and lime peels.
Palate
Full-bodied and mouth-filling, this is like dark chocolate with nut inclusions, plus spiced orange, and a chilli pepper prickle. There's a suggestion of appled meat on a barbecue, with robust tannins building in texture.
Finish
Long and luscious, meandering between the savoury meat notes and succulent fruits.
Overall
Diageo's Dr. Craig Wilson describes this as 'The Beast, tamed'. We're inclined to agree.
