Product details
Founded in 1823 in Dufftown, Mortlach Distillery holds a legendary place in history as the first producer in what is now considered the heart of Speyside. Shaped by visionary figures such as George Cowie and Alexander Cowie, Mortlach developed a distinctive and complex production style that sets it apart from its regional peers. Known as “The Beast of Dufftown,” this Rare Old expression is crafted through a unique multi-stage process and carefully selected cask combinations, resulting in a rich, full-bodied profile with exceptional depth. The meticulous blending of different ages and wood influences creates a layered and opulent character that reflects both heritage and innovation.
On the palate, this expression reveals a vibrant and evolving profile, beginning with notes of ripe plum, red berries, and peach. These fruit tones are supported by a subtle nuttiness and a gentle dryness, followed by a wave of toffee-like sweetness that adds warmth and richness. As it develops, savory undertones and hints of lightly spiced oak emerge, creating a balanced and complex structure. The texture is smooth and supple, leading to a lingering finish where sweetness and a touch of peppery spice intertwine, leaving a refined and memorable impression.
