Mortlach 2009-2022 | 12 Year Old Signatory Vintage Cask 317273 + 317275 + 317280Speyside Single Malt Scotch WhiskyBottled by: Signatory Vintage 70cl 46% A 12 year old Mortlach 2009 bottled at 46% in 2022 from three hogshead casks by Signatory Vintage for their Unchillfiltered Collection. Youngish Mortlach that hasn't been sherried within an inch of its life can be a revelatory experience, with the distillery's robust, meaty spirit shining at this sort of age from hogshead casks. This looks like another everyday drinking bargain

An old bottle of Glenrothes 13-year-old Halloween Edition

which was a first fill sherry butt cask that yielded a generous 595 bottles at a tempting 57% full cask strength

At full strength the expected smoke disguises much

Finish: Creamy milk chocolate and orange

This Linkwood 1961 is a perfect example

An extremely rare 1968 specially bottled from a vatting of two casks to mark the re-opening of the Glendronach distillery on 14th May 2002

while the whisky has been created by Macallan's Lead Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess to be a classic Macallan style and has been bottled at a hearty 47

Initially peaches in syrup

A limited run of only 100 decanters produced

and with good reason as they were all excellent drams

bottled at 50% by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range

and subtle oak notes
