The Mortlach 21yo Diageo Special Releases 2020 is a remarkable and rich expression, meticulously distilled in 1999 and matured for 21 years in small batches at the esteemed Mortlach Distillery in Speyside. This limited edition single malt whisky, with only 7,644 bottles released, has been elegantly finished in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso-seasoned casks. These casks impart a powerful, meaty, and commanding flavor profile to the whisky. Bottled at a robust 56.9% ABV, it offers a smooth, sweet, and savory taste, featuring notes of dark dried fruits, rich fruit, and cured ham, culminating in a lingering spicy dryness.
On the nose, it presents a mild, rounded aroma with hints of ripe, dried fruits, followed by freshly baked goods such as buttery scones, possibly with a touch of lemon marmalade. As it evolves, it becomes slightly savory and meaty, while maintaining a light citrus undertone.
Upon tasting, it delivers a well-balanced, full-bodied experience. The initial sweet and fruity flavors make way for a surprising kick of chili pepper, leaving the palate dry with a glorious, rich afterglow. The long, impressive finish emphasizes the harmony of sweet and spicy notes, creating a memorable experience for the senses.
