Mortlach 16 Year Distiller's Dram 750 ml

Mortlach is nicknamed "The Beast of Dufftown" within the whisky world for its unusually heavy, meaty character, a result of a distinctive partial triple distillation process the distillery has used since the 19th century — a method almost nobody else in Speyside replicates. The 16 Year Distiller's Dram, matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, channels that reputation into something rich and robust: dried fruit and sherry sweetness over a savory, almost meaty backbone rather than the lighter, more floral style typical of most Speyside malts. It's a distinctive whisky for drinkers who've already worked through the gentler end of the Speyside spectrum and want more weight.

How to drink Mortlach 16 Year

Drink it neat with a small splash of water to open up the sherry and dried fruit against that meaty backbone. It rewards slow sipping more than mixing, given how much character is packed into the glass.
