Mortlach‘s well-known 2.81-times distilled whiskey takes considered one of its oldest and most unique types within the bottling of the brand new Midnight Malt, a 30 12 months outdated whisky completed in Bordeaux wine, Calvados, and Guatemalan rum seasoned casks, then blended and married in customized quarter-sized casks earlier than bottling. The annual launch will see simply 350 bottles launched every year.
We had been fortunate to obtain a small pattern. Ideas observe.
Basic Mortlach parts kick the expertise off, that includes sultry roasted grains, sherry-like notes of oxidized wines, mild sandalwood, and — with ample swirling — a spicy cinnamon apple character. Inviting and enveloping, the whisky options a direct darkish chocolate character on the tongue, fruity notes bouncing from apple to raisin and again once more. Clove and nutmeg are surprisingly prolonged because the end builds, although as they fade a wood-infused sweetness begins to take maintain. Touches of rum-driven molasses are most evident right here, with a pinch of black pepper giving the whisky some grip.
In case you’ve bought a spare 5 Gs I extremely suggest choosing up a bottle.
98.2 proof.
