Description

This 16-year-old Speyside single malt comes from the new Mortlach range, launched in 2018. Known as ‘the Beast of Dufftown’, Mortlach is distilled 2.81 times in a complicated process referred to simply as ‘The Way’. This single malt, dubbed the ‘Distiller’s Dram’, is matured in a mixture of refill and first-fill American and European oak sherry casks.

Rich and thick, with brown sugar syrup stirred into a bowl of dried raisins and apples. The sticky sweetness is tempered and balanced by gentle barrel char and sharp orchard fruit – unripe apples and crunchy pears. Dark oloroso notes build – sweet and savoury dried fruit – and dark chocolate sauce pools underneath. Hints of menthol and clove hide at the back.

About the Brand

Launched in 1823, Mortlach Distillery was purchased in 1923 by John Walker and Sons, and much of its whisky was used in their blends. So Mortlach has long been ranked Top Class by blenders, and since it is a key filling for the Johnnie Walker whiskies, yet has been promoted as a single malt by Diageo, its owner only in 2014, and is running uncommonly as an independent bottling.

Known as ‘The Beast of Dufftown’ due to its rather unique flavour profile, Mortlach whisky is often referred to as ‘meaty’ and ‘muscular’. In 1897, they created something in between double distillation and triple distillation, called ‘2.81 distillation’, claiming that their spirit is distilled 2.81 times. The difficult calculation comes from the distillation using 3 pots of different sizes.
