Mortlach 13 Years Old 1988 Cask #1138 (Liquid Gold Enterprises)

Liquid Gold Enterprises, an independent bottler, released this 13 Year Old, cask 1138, a 1988 vintage. 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 thirteen years in American oak, esterification got underway and the meaty spirit rounded, vanilla and light toffee folding in.

At 57.5% it shows old wood, undiluted. A Beast of Dufftown.
