Mortlach Special Release 2022 70cl 57.8°
This Diageo Special Release 2022 collection pushes the doors of new maturation experiments and offers a Single Malt Mortlach in a new register.
We find the rich and meaty taste recognizable from Mortlach productions but with a finish in a combination of Tawny Port, red Muscat and virgin oak wine barrels, that is completely new to it.
Giving it robust aromas of wine and sweet grapes, its intense, lively and slightly fruity taste stands out for its depth and the spicy heat of ginger.
This finish also enhances its deep amber colour to tend towards a brilliant ruby red that inspires the label of this bottle, with a blood-red moon in a night sky and a mystical inspiration from the Beast of Dufftown.

Throughout the Second World War, Mortlach was one of the few distilleries in Scotland able to produce whisky in limited quantities.
The distillery has the particularity of producing whisky with 2.8 distillations: 80% of the product is distilled three times, and the remaining 20% is distilled only twice.
