About This Whisky
Mortlach 13 Year Old from Diageo's Special Releases 2021, bottled at natural cask strength. It was distilled in 2007 and matured partly in virgin oak, which gives the famously heavy Dufftown spirit a fresher, spicier outline.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Oiled wood, then savoury, meaty notes like roast pheasant with redcurrant jelly, over heather and herbs.
- Palate: Big and very smooth, vanilla-sweet at first, then savoury and dry as the new oak comes through, with a kick of chilli pepper.
- Finish: Long, with fruit, power and spice and a warm peppery glow; water brings a floral, herbal note.
Serving & Food
Cask strength, so take it slowly: start neat, then add cool water a few drops at a time until the pepper settles.
Good to Know
