GLOWING EMBERS ON THE TONGUE: A 16 year Ileach matured in a Refill Sherry Butt and bottled at 59.8%. "A very ashy texture – hot ash, ‘like glowing embers’ said one – but the vanilla and honey helped counterbalance the salty, smoky and sweet medicinal characters."

MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DRAM: A 9 year old Northern Highlander matured in a 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrel bottled at 61.8%. The palate was juicy and tasty –an attractive, ‘wow factor’ burst of exotic fruit flavours with some hay and a pleasant, mouth-coating, waxy texture.

G&M Mortlach 15 Year
$111.99
This "Distillery Label" bottling by Gordon & MacPhail has been bottled at 43% after maturing in Refill Sherry casks. Mortlach is a curious distillery, with a unique 2.5 times distillation technique that produces a very complex and "meaty" spirit. Much sought after by blenders it was until recently, it was only occassionally bottled as a single malt by independent bottlers like Gordon & MacPhail. Until the launch of Mortlach's new range, these "Mortlach Distillery Label Bottlings" by Gordon & MacPhail were the closest thing to an official bottling.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: a touch of musty European oak, faintly meaty, with wet leaf litter, soft leather with some silky vanillians, pear drops and some candied ginger; honeyed with canned peaches.
Palate: a touch richer, nuttier and spicier than expected; more pear, peach and some cooked honey; cherries, more candied ginger even some Maroccan marmalade.
Finish: warming with spices, some drying leather and fading fruits.

From the Distiller: "Celebrating its extraordinary journey and its recovery by our Master Distiller, Ian MacMillan, is its label. Specially created by renowned Scots illustrator Iain McIntosh it retraces the story; from the water source at Margadale Spring to Bunnahabhain Distillery, from the ledgers to the turney casks - the illustration recounts the timeless passion and dedication which has gone into this truly exceptional whisky."
Distiller's Tasting Note: "This copper gold dram invites you into its tale with fragrant notes of sweet oak, hazelnuts, citrus peel and chocolate with hints of light smokiness. There it releases a taste with a rich and complex balance of heather honey, ginger chocolate and sweet fruits, finished with a teasingly long lightly spicy nutty note and a hint of sea salt. 41.7% vol. Unchill-filtered"
