Mortlach 21yo 700ml 2020 Special Release

Diageo Special Releases 2020

The Mortlach release in this year’s Special Releases is a 21 year-old finished in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso seasoned casks.

Nose: A dram overflowing with rich, dark fruit aromas - raisins, prunes and figs roll from the glass. Then the characteristic Mortlach meatiness comes through, balanced and lifted by lemon and lime peels.

Palate: Full-bodied and mouth-filling, this is like dark chocolate with nut inclusions, plus spiced orange, and a chilli pepper prickle. There's a suggestion of appled meat on a barbecue, with robust tannins building in texture.

Finish: Long and luscious, meandering between the savoury meat notes and succulent fruits.

Alc: 56.9%
