- Description
- This Mortlach distilled in October 1989 remained in cask 5055 for 23 years before Duncan Taylor bottled it in August 2013 as part of their Dimensions series, yielding 240 bottles. Mortlach's signature waxiness and orchard fruit character would have concentrated and evolved significantly over that timespan. An excellent choice for those seeking mature, single-cask Speyside complexity.
