This 2007 vintage Mortlach was bottled after 16 years in a Refill ex-Bourbon Hogshead at 48.5%.
Producer Description
"This year’s Summer Edition of Equinox & Solstice is a single refill hogshead of 2007 Mortlach, bottled at 16 years of age and reduced to this series’ trademark easy drinking strength of 48.5%.
"We’re always on the look out for casks that go against common expectations of certain distilleries. In the case of Mortlach, we often associate this distillery and its notoriously meaty and full-bodied distillate with sherry casks. So, we were very pleased to find this refill hogshead matured example that shows this wonderfully fat and oily distillate in all its natural glory. Rich, naturally sweet, waxy, fruity and well-balanced, this is perfect for easy summer sipping or, as is often the case with this series, makes a terrific highball too."
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: waxes, oils, cereals and buttery notes combine with baked apple, starched fabrics and nicely fatty olive oil touches. Very easy and rich and full of the raw, malty ingredients.
Palate: classic full-bodied Mortlach goodness! Lots of oily sweetness and waxes balanced by green and yellow fruits and cereals.
Finish: long, warming, peppery, cereal and full of more green fruits with some floral notes.
