- Description
- Mortlach's 1996 vintage spent two decades in a single hogshead before Signatory's independent bottling without chill-filtration, preserving every element of the cask's influence. The single cask nature and unchill-filtered presentation mean fuller body and potential cask-specific variation—likely Mortlach's characteristic spice, dried fruit, and rich oak in concentrated form. A collector's release suited to those valuing provenance and natural whisky character.
