Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 50.4%
A single cask Mortlach 1978, bottled as a 43-year-old in 2021 without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for their ultra-premium Private Collection.
This 1978 Mortlach 43-year-old came from a single refill American hogshead cask #992 that yielded just 96 bottles at an impressive cask strength of 50.4%. Mortlach are perhaps best known for their monstrous sherry casks, but the distillery's spirit is equally impressive 'naked' from refill casks like these. This will be wonderful.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Sweet poached pears and demerara sugar aromas complement roasted hazelnuts. Notes of dried banana lead to crystalised violets.
Palate: Rich tropical fruit flavours give way to subtle aniseed and milk chocolate. Cracked black pepper comes to the fore alongside Seville orange zest and mature oak.
Finish: A medium-bodied finish with toasted almonds and fresh red apples.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
