Mortlach's marvellous distillate has so much character that it's one of the best single malts to try young, as long as the cask has had enough time to round out the spirit's more boisterous edges.
This small batch 12-year-old Mortlach 2009 from Morrison Distillers should be a case in point, bottled in late 2021 at 47.5% for the company's Carn Mor Strictly Limited series, and it has the significant added advantage of being finished in Oloroso sherry casks, meaning we can expect an extra layer of sweet complexity. This really should be a splendid dram.

Edradour may be the hidden gem of malts but this is a hidden gem in their line up. Dark, complex and satisfying, don't hesitate for a second, this is not to be missed at this price point.
Initial Smokey smell then a hint of pear drop.
Tried it without water and it had a sharp burning sensation on the palate as you would expect at this strength but once you added water the sharpness mellowed and the sweet vanilla taste came through.
