- Description
- Mortlach's 18-year-old distillery character shines through this 1990 release, matured in bourbon casks before a finishing period in Premier Cru Leroy Vosges Romanée wine casks, bottled at natural cask strength by Murray McDavid's Mission Gold Series. The wine cask influence adds layers of complexity and depth to Speyside's characteristic orchard fruit and spice. This rare bottling of just 608 bottles showcases how thoughtful wood management elevates classic distillery character. Ideal for collectors seeking Speyside complexity with wine-driven nuance.
