Mortlach (Special Release 2023)
Mortlach
Tasting Notes
This unique Mortlach expression from the Diageo Special Releases 2023 offers a captivating blend of flavors. On the nose, tropical fruits mingle with savory notes of cured meat, cloves, red chili, and black pepper, creating an intriguing contrast. The palate unveils a delightful interplay of sweet and savory, with pear drops, toffee pudding, orange peel, and marzipan complemented by umami flavors reminiscent of soy sauce. The finish is rich and full-bodied, with lingering notes of honey and pepper. Aptly named 'The Katana's Edge,' this Speyside Scotch whisky was finished in Kanosuke Japanese whisky and Pinot Noir casks, imparting a unique complexity that sets it apart from the ordinary. With its 58% ABV, this expression promises a bold and memorable tasting experience.
