- Description
- This Mortlach from the 1980s defies the distillery's typical sherry-forward profile, presenting an unusually light and delicate expression at 40% ABV. Distillery bottlings from this era are scarce, making this no-age-statement release a curiosity for those familiar with Mortlach's characteristic richness. The whisky showcases a different facet of the distillery's spirit-making, away from the heavily sherried expressions for which it's known. Suited to collectors seeking unusual bottlings and alternative perspectives on classic Speyside character.
