- Description
- Mortlach's 2023 Special Release, bottled at natural cask strength (58%), combines ex-Kanosuke Japanese whisky and ex-Pinot Noir casks in a marriage inspired by Japanese flavor profiles. The dual cask influence yields blackberry, toasted cinnamon, and subtle umami-driven porcini notes that underscore the Speyside base. Complex and textural, this expression suits those exploring unconventional cask finishes and Japanese-influenced flavor directions.
