Description

Cadenhead's, Scotland's oldest independent bottler, founded in 1842, drew this 26 Year Old: a 1988 vintage, an outturn of 570 bottles. Mortlach is Speyside's great meaty malt, its 1823 Dufftown stillhouse using worm tubs and a 2.81 distillation that defies the region's lighter norm.

Twenty-six years in ex-Bourbon saw fresh extraction tail off and oxidation take over, drawing stewed fruit, leather and a nutty depth from the rich, meaty spirit.

At 56.1% it shows fragrant, undiluted. A muscular Speyside malt.
