MORTLACH - SINGLE MALT - OB - COMMERCIAL RELEASE IN 2019 "DISTILLER'S DRAM" 16YO

The Mortlach 16 Year Old "Distiller's Dram" represents a major turning point in the modern history of the distillery. Released globally by parent company Diageo as a core commercial expression, this bottling was designed to satisfy a passionate global whisky community that had spent years demanding a return to Mortlach's traditional, heavy, sherry-forward style.

It opens with explicit notes of stewed raisins, dried figs, and dark brown sugar, which quickly give way to Mortlach's signature savory undertones—leather, polished wood, a light earthiness, and a touch of light tobacco smoke.

It leaves behind a drying trail of oak tannins, bitter cocoa powder, ginger biscuit spice, and a waxy citrus rind coat.
