The Mortlach 20yo AtB Darkness Oloroso Cask Finish is a premium Speyside whisky brought to you by Atom Brands, showcasing the craftsmanship of the renowned Mortlach distillery. Aged for 20 years and bottled in 2022, this expression is a highlight of the Darkness range, boasting a robust ABV of 49% and presented in a 500ml bottle. This whisky has been meticulously finished in oloroso octave casks for three months, imparting a rich, fruity flavor profile that is both complex and inviting. Upon nosing, you're greeted with meaty undertones complemented by sweeter notes of dried fruits, red berries, and dark chocolate, all interwoven with spiced nuances and a hint of roasted coffee. The palate is an intricate symphony of flavors, featuring spiced oranges, cloves, and toasted oak, along with nutty aromas of chocolate-coated hazelnuts. The experience is further enriched with the flavors of spiced apple and blackberry crumble, fresh plums, and cherries, making each sip a new discovery. The finish is satisfyingly long, drying with the essence of espresso, and a lingering taste of spice, oak, and dried fruit. This Mortlach expression is an exemplar of the distillery's ability to produce richly complex and flavorful whiskies. It masterfully balances sweet and spicy notes, offering a tasting journey that is both sweet and savory. The oaky palate and long-lasting finish add to its overall appeal, making it a must-have for any whisky connoisseur.
