Mortlach 1942

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 96 Points

This 50-year-old classic held on to the elements that make Mortlachs great. The nose is rich and beefy with subtle touches of spices and herbs, including chocolate mint, lemon peel, and tobacco. The taste has rich, soft spices with hints of citrus and broth, a subtle mintiness, a touch of wet leather, and eucalyptus. The finish is long and warm with cocoa, vanilla, and hints of leather. Outstanding!
