Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 490: Mortlach 14 Year Old 2008 Carn Mor

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a bottle from the Beast of Dufftown! He recently got a visitor from Virginia, USA, and again his friend John brought some nice bottles. This time it is a 14-year-old Mortlach that was bottled at 47.5% after a finish on Moscatel casks. Mark assumes that this is not cask strength. The malt has been given a fantastic color by the wine.

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2023, 52.3%

I’m back with more Laphroaig! Are Laphroaig the distillery of 2023? Looks that way in my eyes.

I haven’t purchased a Cairdeas release for a very long time, 2016, I think, was the last time with a madeira finish. Anyway, I saw the email for this and bit the bullet – worth every single penny.

75% of the maturing stock has been in second fill madeira casks, with the other 25% being finished in mostly white port casks. A little summer time smoke infused dream of white peaches, white grapes, ashy classic Laphroaig peat, vanilla, toffee, honey, mint, and agave syrup

It’s impossible to hide my love for Laphroaig. It does everything you get from unpeated whiskies, but with peat. Winner all around. I’m incredibly happy to have this open on the shelf. Well done, Laphroaig.
