Description
Mortlach ‘The Katana’s Edge’ Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 2023 Special Release (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 58% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
Mortlach was established in 1823 in the wake of the Excise Act. Built on the site of an older illicit distillery Mortlach was the first legal distillery in Dufftown which is the epicentre on Speyside. Now under the ownership on Diageo it plays a very important role in some of the world’s finest blends. This is due to the oily meaty character it has and the mass production. Mortlach is again making its mark as a single malt with last years Diageo Special Release bottling selling out in record time.
Mortlach is famed for its sweet yet savoury taste, defiantly rare among Speyside malts. Moved by this contrasting spark of umami, the former Malt Master at Diageo drew inspiration from the flavours of Japan, and finished part of this stunning expression in ex-Kanosuke Japanese Whisky casks. To add balance to the sweetness, ex-pinot noir casks were used to finish the remaining part of the whisky, in a combination of utmost precision.
Bottled at 58% alc/vol.
