- Description
- Mortlach's 1999 distillate, independently bottled by Càrn Mòr after 16 years in bourbon barrels, represents a focused, approachable take on this Speyside distillery's character. Bourbon cask maturation emphasises the spirit's natural vanilla, caramel, and cereal notes while maintaining clarity and balance. The result is clean and straightforward without heavy oak influence. This bottling of 520 casks suits those preferring classic Speyside profiles unadorned by sherry or experimental finishes.
