Mortlach 13 Years Old 2021 Special Release 70cl 55.9°
A Mortlach of beautiful intensity, well-structured, in its finest expression thanks to its ageing in virgin barrels.
Nicknamed "The Beast of Dufftown", Mortlach, a mysterious Speyside distillery, delivers a complex, robust and magnetic Single Malt, produced by distillation through six uniquely shaped stills: the result is an extraordinary spirit, born of science and alchemy, whose sublime aromas exacerbate the senses.
The nose opens with woody and fleshy aromas, slightly acidic. Spicy and tasty notes, including lime in particular, invade the palate to develop into a powerful spicy finish.
The Special Releases series from Maison Diageo is a set of limited edition bottlings. This highly coveted collection is recognized and appreciated. For its 2021 edition, Diageo has chosen 8 cask-strength Single Malt Scotch whiskies from rare and original casks.
