Mortlach 11 Years Old 2009 Cask #317315 + 317319 (Signatory Vintage)

Signatory Vintage, one of Scotland's largest independent bottlers, released this 11 Year Old: a 2009 from a small parcel of casks. The first legal distillery in Dufftown, Mortlach builds its meaty weight through low-copper worm tubs and the 2.81 distillation, and has anchored Johnnie Walker for a century.

Across eleven years in American oak, esterification got underway and the meaty spirit rounded, vanilla and light toffee folding in.

At 46% it shows fresh fruit, a leafy note, malt extract, fresh oak and vanilla. The savoury Dufftown style.
