Mortlach 15 Years Old (Gordon & MacPhail)

Gordon & MacPhail of Elgin, whose deep stocks include some of the oldest Mortlach in existence, bottles this 15 Year Old. 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.

Fifteen years in Oloroso deepened the dense Mortlach spirit into figgy dried fruit and leather, oxidation and ellagitannins adding a nutty, polished structure.

At 43% it shows dried fruit, leather and polished oak over the meaty Mortlach body. Mortlach at full weight.
