The Mortlach 16yo Distiller's Dram Sherry is a distinguished Speyside single malt whisky that has been artfully aged for 16 years. This exceptional whisky, bottled in 2021, is a proud member of the new Mortlach range that debuted in 2018. Mortlach, often celebrated as the "Beast of Dufftown," employs a unique and intricate distillation technique known as "The Way," which involves a 2.81 times distillation process. This meticulous approach results in a whisky of unparalleled complexity and depth. This expression, dubbed the "Distiller's Dram," is bottled at an ABV of 43.4% and offers a more balanced profile compared to its predecessor, the 16 year old Flora & Fauna release. It draws inspiration from the legendary first bottling of the 16 year old from 1992, marking the inaugural single malt release from Mortlach. Crafted exclusively in 100% sherry casks, this whisky exudes a sophisticated elegance, characterized by a refreshing vivacity. The maturation process imparts a rich tapestry of woody and spicy notes, harmoniously balanced with a smooth, round character. Subtle floral and fruity nuances delicately reveal themselves in the finish, adding to the whisky's allure. Mortlach's unique distillation process employs three wash stills and three spirit stills, each distinct in shape and size, and meticulously hand-cut. This intricate method results in a whisky of remarkable richness and complexity, setting Mortlach apart in the realm of single malts.
