Mortlach
34 Year Old · 1989 Vintage
70cl · 40.1% ABV

£649.95

Distilled in 1989 and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry octaves, this 34-year-old Mortlach balances richness and structure with remarkable finesse. Barley sugars and beeswax evolve into creamy fudge, dried apricot and fruity oak, while the PX octave finish adds luxurious depth. Orange peel and toasted malt linger gracefully on the finish.

Mortlach was founded in 1823 on the site of a former illicit distillery, becoming the first legal distillery in Dufftown long before the town was known as the whisky capital of Speyside. Its history is closely tied to George Cowie and later Dr Alexander Cowie, who helped shape the modern distillery, and by 1897 Mortlach had expanded from three stills to six and gained its own railway siding.
