- Description
- Mortlach's 1993 vintage spent 26 years developing in first-fill Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, emerging at a robust 53.3% ABV as part of Diageo's 2019 Special Releases. The extended sherry maturation has built layers of dark dried fruit, cocoa, and warming spice over Mortlach's characteristically robust, slightly funky base. A full-bodied dram with considerable depth and persistence, suited to serious collectors and those seeking complexity in a Speyside single malt.
