This mystifying Mortlach single malt Scotch joins Diageo's 2022 Special Releases. The cask strength expression was finished in a combination of ex-tawny Port, ex-red Muscato, and virgin oak casks, inspiring a rather spooky blood moon on the label. There's also an owl, that looks a little menacing, perhaps ready to take on The Beast of Dufftown?
Big nose! Brown sugar, dried fruit, dark caramel, chocolate, coffee, date, and cherry.
Full and spicy, caramel, toffee, dark chocolate, bitter espresso, aromatic pink peppercorns.
Muscovado sugar, a touch of wood tannin, and dark chocolate. Long and intense.
Big whisky, sweet and bitter, but with a good balance.

I thought the whole experience was amazing, the depth of vanilla and even pears and orchard fruit, slightly sweet and a subtle warmth lingers. Wish i'd kept it unopened. Only paid £190 from the distillery 5 mths ago.
This was not worth the price. The nose and palate and finish gets lost in the ridiculous spikiness of this whisky. I’m really disappointed.
