A remarkable expression from Mortlach, this heavily sherried single malt was distilled in 1993 and matured for 26 years in first-fill oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. Released as part of Diageo's 2019 Special Releases, this whisky is a testament to Mortlach's exceptional craftsmanship. With only 3,888 bottles produced, this limited edition offers an aromatic symphony of black tea, jam on toast, leather, and tar, with layers of dried fruit, apple upside-down cake, ginger cake, and caramel. The palate is a complex medley of spiced sponge cake, burnt raisins, buttery pastry, and hot caramel, which evolve into nuances of plums, liquorice, fruit cake, and Caramac bars. Bottled at an impressive 53.3% ABV, this 700ml gem from the Speyside region encapsulates the rich heritage of the Mortlach distillery.
