Mortlach Rare Old (50cl)

The Mortlach Rare Old is the first release in the new Mortlach single malt series. This Speyside single malt with no age statement will be accompanied (in 2015) by a 18 and 25 years old as well as a travel retail release. This Mortlach is not like most expect heavily sherried. This new bottling brings to light a complex, warming and spicy side of Mortlach's personality.

Nose: sugary biscuits (maybe Nice biscuits), baked apple and crushed nuts. Fudge and herbal, leafy notes persist

Palate: rich and full of palate entry, with spicy notes of cinnamon sticks and oak. Then there's vanilla, raisin and biscuit-y notes paired with dark jam (Jammy Dodgers?). That leafy, earthy note from the nose continues on the palate too

Finish: warm and drying with cinnamon, pepper and vanilla
