Distilled in 2007, this 13-year-old Mortlach single malt has been matured in a combination of virgin and refill American oak casks, before being bottled as part of Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases. Aromas of freshly-polished oak, savoury meat, redcurrant jelly, heather, mixed herbs and lime fill the nose. The palate offers notes of vanilla, spicy oak, roast meats, pepper and hints of sweet honeysuckle that linger in the finish.
