Mortlach 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 11 years old Edition No. 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48.2%

Six stills, nine distillations for every two runs of spirit – Mortlach's process is so eccentric that no other distillery has dared copy it.

Expert's Description

Mortlach 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage Small Batch Edition No. 1 is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky combining oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, bottled at 48.2%.
