Tasting Notes
This 20-year-old Mortlach Scotch whisky is part of the "Darkness" series, featuring a remarkable Oloroso sherry cask finish. The nose greets you with nutty malt notes intertwined with dark, berry-laced chocolate and floral hints of sweet black tea. On the palate, creamy praline and honeyed dates strike a delightful balance with prickles of clove and peppery oak, while bittersweet candied orange tackles the meaty malt core. As the earthy spice builds towards the finish, rich notes of ground coffee, tea loaf, and bitter chocolate linger, leaving a lasting impression. This robust and malt-forward expression from the renowned Speyside distillery showcases the splendour of sherry cask finishes, offering a harmonious blend of sweet dried fruits and earthy spices in every sip.
