This is a 1978 single malt whisky from the Mortlach distillery, bottled by the renowned independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of its esteemed Private Collection. This whisky has been carefully matured in a single refill American hogshead cask for an impressive 43 years before being bottled in April 2021, yielding a very limited run of only 96 bottles. Presented at 50.4% ABV, this expression is a true gem for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
The nose is greeted with an aromatic bouquet of poached pears, roasted hazelnuts, violets, and dried banana. On the palate, rich tropical fruits meld with aniseed, milk chocolate, orange segments, mature oak, and more milk chocolate. The medium-bodied finish intricately weaves together notes of toasted almonds and red apples, offering a harmonious and satisfying conclusion. This is a rare and highly sought-after whisky with a rich and complex flavor profile that is sure to captivate even the most discerning of palates. Whether you're a seasoned whisky collector or simply looking to experience something truly special, this Mortlach 1978 from Gordon & MacPhail is an exceptional choice.
