Mortlach, the Beast of Dufftown, is darkly robust, a true creature of the
moonlight shadows; this expression presents finely tuned highlights that pour
from its rich, primal heart.
A magnificently intense, well-structured Mortlach with a character that rises to new heights inspired
by virgin casks. This was distilled in 2007.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep gold with amber lights. Good beading.
Nose:
A mellow, rounded, nose with some prickle. The first impression is of rich, dried fruits, and beneath this fresh-baked buttered scones, perhaps spread with lime marmalade. Soon this becomes lightly savoury and meaty but retains a slight citric note. A drop of water modifies the latter and reduces the aroma.
Body:
Medium to full.
Palate:
At natural strength, mild for its strength and super-smooth in texture, while the wonderfully rich mouth-filling taste is immediately sweet overall with dried fruits, then intense and savoury with a surprising kick of chili pepper as it goes down. Magnificently feral and delicious. Drying overall, with rich tannins. Similar with a dash of water, which raises a little more sweet, spiced fruit.
Finish:
Seemingly endless and deeply impressive, with the fruit and savoury notes in perfect agreement and a warming glow spreading across the palate. Finally leaving the palate dry, yet still wreathed in a glorious rich afterglow.
