Mortlach 2007/2022 Signatory Vintage – 15 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, 51.8%

When Mortlach 2007 from Signatory Vintage hits the palate, an unparalleled complexity is instantly revealed. The initial notes carry deep, rich layers of raisins and dried plums—classic sherry accents that envelop the tongue with a luscious sweetness. Then it unfolds with warm, spicy nuances of toasted oak, cinnamon, and dark syrup, creating a full-bodied and almost dessert-like profile. In the background, subtle hints of walnut, cocoa, and a touch of coffee add depth and a delicate bitterness, all beautifully aligned with the whisky’s natural strength.

The tannic structure from the sherry cask lends a pleasant dryness that contrasts with the sweet fruit notes, offering both balance and finesse. The high alcohol volume of 51.8% contributes intensity and power without overshadowing the layered complexity of the flavour.

The finish is long, lingering, and warm—like a velvet glove with an edge. Here, notes of black tea and orange zest emerge, presenting a bitter, aromatic profile that slowly melts into traces of leather, tobacco, and spiced marmalade. Everything rounds off with a subtle bitterness that elegantly balances the initial sweetness, creating a harmonious conclusion that invites introspection and reflection.
