Mortlach 1988

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Samaroli

ABV: 45%

Score: 95 Points

This was matured in a sherry cask before bottling in 2006, and the nose is rich and beefy with delicate touches of fresh berries and peaches, dried flowers, and a hint of mint. The taste is buttery and smooth with a nice spicy touch of cinnamon and berries in the background that come alive as the spices fade. The finish lasts and lasts with subtle spices and berry notes.
