Introducing the Mortlach 13 Year Old Speyside Whisky, affectionately known as "The Moonlit Beast." This name is inspired by the mythical creature that is said to roam the distillery grounds at night, potentially imparting its mystical influence on the Speyside Malt. This special release from Diageo's 2021 collection is a limited edition gem, boasting an impressive 55.9% ABV and a 700ml bottle size. Matured in a combination of first-fill American oak casks and refill casks, this whisky delivers a complex and rich flavor profile. The aroma begins with mild and enchanting notes of freshly-polished oak, savory meat, redcurrant jelly, heather, mixed herbs, and lime. As it develops, bittersweet elements of sour berries, heather, and herbs emerge, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, Mortlach 13 Year Old is full-bodied and layered. Initial flavors of vanilla, oak, and spices are soon joined by chili and a hint of herbs, creating a harmonious balance. Additional notes of roast meats, pepper, and sweet honeysuckle linger, offering a delightful and multifaceted tasting experience. The finish is long-lasting and powerful, characterized by a peppery note that is lightened by fruity undertones and a floral-herbal hint. The texture is smooth and velvety, contributing to the rich and intense taste that is both sweet and savory. A spicy and dry finish with a surprising kick of chili pepper rounds out the experience. This whisky showcases the unique characteristics of the Speyside region and the Mortlach distillery, making it a revered choice among whisky enthusiasts.
