- Description
- Mortlach's 20-year maturation in a single hogshead has crafted a substantial single cask expression, bottled at cask strength from just 59 bottles. Two decades of aging have built considerable depth and character, with oak influence shaping a full-bodied profile. The extended maturation creates a complex, layered whisky demanding contemplation. Suited to serious malt enthusiasts seeking rare, mature Speyside character.
