A high-aged Mortlach selected in collaboration by Hong Kong bar Abyss, Osaka bar Bar Aiba, Taiwan IB Aqua Vitae, and Tokyo specialist Shinanoya.

The label design pays homage to the 'Biblical' series, featuring a snake motif to represent this masterpiece released in the Year of the Snake. Mortlach is also a distillery frequently featured in the Biblical series. This deeply colored Mortlach is surprisingly balanced, avoiding overly heavy notes, showcasing an old-school character reminiscent of whiskies older than those from the 90s.
