Read More About the Brand
Founded in 1823, Mortlach was the first legal distillery in Dufftown, Speyside. It is renowned for its incredibly complex '2.81 distillation process' invented by Dr. Alexander Cowie in 1896. This precise system involves six differently shaped stills, creating a spirit that is bolder and more 'meaty' than typical Speyside whiskies, earning it the nickname 'The Beast of Dufftown.'
For a long time, Mortlach's spirit was primarily used as a base for premium blends like Johnnie Walker Blue Label, making its single malt releases rare. With the recent core range relaunch, this 16-year-old expression marks a triumphant return. Matured in European oak sherry casks, it offers deep color and intense dried fruit and spice characters, perfectly embodying the union of power and elegance.
