Tasting: 3 core single malt whiskies from Mortlach (12, 16, 20 year) -- Mortlach's unique malts build toward a grand conclusion. whiskey whisky singlemalt
I imagine it could be perceived as either endearing or confounding the way a spirits industry like scotch whisky has a tendency to venerate its history and traditions to the point of preserving the idiosyncrasies of a founder or distiller, hundreds of years later.
When the distillery’s name comes up, though, the one thing a casual observer is likely to note is all the “beast” and animal references. These are in reference to the Speyside distillery’s flavor profile, often described over the years as being wild or animalistic, “meaty” in the parlance of scotch drinkers.
At first, the nose on Mortlach 16 Year seems a bit hard to place for me–it’s nutty but also herbaceous, with a more exotic citrus this time around evoking blood orange. There’s some familiar sherry character, but also elements I can’t really place. After tasting the spirit, though, it seemingly unlocks the nose–now I’m suddenly getting the bigger vinous sherry character, with big dried fruit and greater maple and vanilla sweetness.
