Mortlach 21 Year Old (Gordon & MacPhail)
Mortlach
Tasting Notes
One of the stars in the Gordon & MacPhail lineup, this 21-year-old Mortlach single malt is a true sherry bomb. Aged entirely in a combination of first-fill and refill sherry casks, this whisky flaunts a deep, rich mahogany hue that hints at the indulgent flavors to come. On the nose, you're greeted by an enticing medley of dried fruits, warm spices, and a subtle nuttiness. The palate is an explosion of flavors – luscious raisins, dates, and prunes intertwine with notes of Christmas cake, cocoa, and a touch of oak. The full-bodied mouthfeel coats the tongue, leading to a long, lingering finish with hints of leather and cigar box. A true delight for sherry enthusiasts and a testament to the skill of the Mortlach distillers and the exceptional cask management of Gordon & MacPhail.
