Mossburn Whisky

Mossburn didn't start with a distillery, but with a nose. Neil Mathieson has traded rare Scotch casks since his twenties, and that experience still shows in every bottle - now also from his own distillery on Skye.

  • Auchroisk 2007/2021 Mossburn 14 year old Bordeaux cask bottle, Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280233

    Bordeaux casks are not common in whisky. They give something entirely different from sherry, more berry, more acidity and a dry tannic edge that a Speyside rarely comes near.

    The Expert's Description

    Auchroisk 2007/2021 Mossburn 14 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for fourteen years in a Bordeaux cask and bottled at 46%. It is number 25 in Mossburn’s Vintage Casks range and is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Red wine casks from Bordeaux have been used by several bottlers in recent years, because they add red berries and a dry tannic structure instead of sherry’s dried fruit. The effect requires a spirit with the right lightness, as the tannins can quickly take over.

    Auchroisk’s bright, citrus-driven style suits that exercise well. The distillery was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and official bottlings are rare, so independent casks like this one are the usual way in.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Red berries first, with cherry and raspberry clearly to the fore. Vanilla and apple from the spirit sit beneath, and there is a dry, lightly tart note from the wine cask.

    Palate

    Fruity and dry at once. Red berries and a little marzipan open, then citrus, white pepper and a dry tannic edge arrive. At 46% the body is good, and the whisky holds its freshness all the way.

    Finish

    Medium and dry. Berries, oak and a lightly bitter close from the tannins.

  • Aultmore 2008/2022 Mossburn 14 year old Oloroso hogshead bottle, Speyside Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 059763-615-130

    Aultmore is one of those distilleries you rarely see on a label. Almost everything goes into Dewar’s White Label, and the casks that do escape typically end up with independent bottlers like this one.

    The Expert's Description

    Aultmore 2008/2022 Mossburn 14 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for fourteen years in an Oloroso sherry hogshead and bottled at 52.6%. The cask gave 328 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    A hogshead holds around 250 litres, and when it has been filled with Oloroso it gives dried fruit, nuts and spice. Fourteen years is enough for the cask to lay on a clear layer, but not so long that the spirit disappears.

    Aultmore’s fresh, grassy style provides good counterweight to the sherry. The distillery was built in 1896 by Alexander Edward, and since John Dewar & Sons bought it in 1923, by far the greater part of production has gone into their blends.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Sherry and fruit in balance. Raisins and orange peel first, then walnut, honey and a fresh apple note from the spirit. A dry spiced oak note sits at the bottom.

    Palate

    Full and spiced. Dried fruit and sherry sweetness open, then nuts, cinnamon and black pepper arrive. At 52.6% there is good weight, and Aultmore’s freshness keeps the whisky from turning heavy.

    Finish

    Long and dry. Dark fruit, nuts and spiced oak that let go slowly.

  • BenRiach 2010 Mossburn Vintage Casks 11 years PX hogshead Single Speyside Malt
    Item no.: 059763-615-132

    Sixty-two point five per cent. That is not a figure you arrive at by accident after eleven years, and it means the cask stood dry and cool the whole way. Not a drop of water has been added, and you notice from the first sip.

    The expert's description

    BenRiach 2010/2022 Mossburn Vintage Casks 11 years is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill Pedro Ximenez hogshead and bottled at 62.5 % cask strength without chill filtration and without added colour.

    Vintage Casks is the Mossburn range for single casks, where the wood is selected by Master Blender Neil MacLeod Mathieson. The whisky went into cask on 1 December 2010 and was drawn on 7 November 2022, and the cask yielded 310 bottles.

    A refill Pedro Ximenez cask is an interesting decision. First fill PX can easily take over a whisky with its heavy sweetness, but a cask used before gives more sparingly and lets the malty core of BenRiach come through. The bottling is exclusive to Whisky.dk.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark fruit, raisin and brown sugar with a powerful alcohol warmth on top. Behind it sit malt and spiced oak.

    Palate

    Very powerful and concentrated with prune, date and dark chocolate. The sweetness of the PX cask meets a warm, almost peppery edge.

    Finish

    Very long and warm with dried fruit, spice and a dry close.

    Did you know?

    Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest of the sherry styles, made from grapes dried in the sun before pressing. The sugar content is so high that the wine is close to syrup, which is why PX casks leave such a clear mark on whisky.

    A Scottish castle name from Skye graces this island-composed blended malt.

    Expert description

    Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old Mossburn Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is an age-stated blended malt from Mossburn, composed of single malts from several of Scotland's island distilleries, matured for at least 12 years, bottled at 46%. Mossburn Distillers was founded in 2012 to bring together the Eaux de Vie group's whisky interests. Rather than operating a single distillery, Mossburn is behind two Scottish distilleries — the peated island distillery Torabhaig on the Isle of Skye and the Lowland distillery Reivers — as well as a substantial portfolio of independent bottlings from other Scottish distilleries, composed and selected by the company's own blenders.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is smoky with sea breeze, honey and a hint of dried fruit.

    Palate

    The palate offers smoke, caramel and a light maritime note.

    Finish

  • Mossburn Fettercairn Single Highland Malt Whisky bottle from a bourbon cask
    Item no.: 22227865392-18769

    Ten years is not long in whisky terms, and that is exactly the point here. Fettercairn is allowed to be young, bright and fruity before the oak starts deciding how the whole thing should taste.

    The expert description

    Fettercairn 2008/2018 Mossburn 10 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an American standard barrel and bottled at 46%.

    Mossburn is an independent bottler that sent out its first bottles in 2017 with the simple idea that whisky should be bottled at a minimum of 46%, without colouring and without chill filtration. This release was distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2018 from batch 30.1008.18.

    The cask is an American Standard Barrel, an ex-bourbon cask of around 200 litres. It is the smallest of the common cask sizes, so the wood works faster, and even after ten years there is plenty of vanilla and oak in the glass without the fruitiness of the distillery disappearing.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh and young. Green apple and pear first, then vanilla, coconut and a light cereal note from the malt.

    Palate

    Bright and crisp with citrus peel, white peach and vanilla custard, while the oak lays a dry, lightly peppered edge underneath.

    Finish

    Medium and clean with malt, a touch of ginger and a final note of fresh oak.

Mossburn Distillers was founded in 2012 to bring together the Eaux de Vie group's whisky interests. Rather than operating a single distillery, Mossburn is behind two Scottish distilleries — the peated island distillery Torabhaig on the Isle of Skye and the Lowland distillery Reivers — as well as a substantial portfolio of independent bottlings from other Scottish distilleries, composed and selected by the company's own blenders.

  • Teaninich 2008 from Mossburn, cask strength matured in an Oloroso sherry cask
    Item no.: 059763-615-129

    Fourteen years in a used Oloroso cask have given this Teaninich a deep, dark sweetness that plays beautifully against the distillery's usually light style - bottled at full cask strength, unfiltered, uncompromised.

    Expert description

    Teaninich 2008/2022 Mossburn is a 14 year old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at cask strength, 54.9%, from independent bottler Mossburn Distillers' Vintage Casks range.

    Vintage Casks is a relatively new series from Mossburn, where each cask is hand-picked by Master Blender Neil MacLeod Mathieson with a focus on characterful, rare single casks. This Teaninich matured in a used Oloroso sherry puncheon (batch no. #22.0208.SC41), which lent the whisky dried fruit character and a deeper, richer colour.

    The whisky was distilled on 22 February 2008 and bottled on 7 November 2022, presented non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Only 685 bottles were released.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Raisin sweetness and dark chocolate mingle with a touch of orange peel and warm baking spice.

    Palate

    Powerful and full-bodied, with stewed fruit, walnut and a pleasant sherry sweetness carried by the high strength.

    Finish

    Long and warm, with a lightly bitter cocoa note and a final trace of spiced oak.

    Did you know?

    A puncheon is one of the largest cask types used in Scotch whisky production, holding up to around 500 litres, which gives the whisky more room to breathe and develop at a slower pace than in smaller casks.

About Mossburn

There's something stubborn about Mossburn. The company started with an eye for good casks, not a distillery building, and the philosophy remains the same: seek out the best casks from Scotland's distilleries, let them mature as needed, and serve the result without fuss. For newcomers, Mossburn is a shortcut to quality whisky from well-known distilleries in an accessible, well-balanced style. For collectors, the name is even more interesting - as a young independent bottler with roots back to the 1990s and full traceability on every cask, Mossburn has quickly built a reputation as one of the most serious players in the cask-driven bottling market.

History & background

The story starts with Neil Mathieson, who in his twenties founded the import firm Eaux de Vie and, as early as 1992, released his first Scotch bottlings. Mossburn Distillers was formally established in 2012 as part of the Swiss company Marussia Beverages, and in 2017 the company opened its own distillery, Torabhaig, on the Isle of Skye - the first new distillery on the island in over 190 years.

Production & style

Mossburn blends, bottles and distils, with casks selected from a wide range of Scottish distilleries supplemented by its own production from Torabhaig on Skye, where peated malt plays a central role.

Signature style

Versatile, Full-bodied, Authentic
Flavour varies by source, but often carries a full-bodied, distillery-true character, with a peated, maritime signature from the Torabhaig production.
