Mortlach 1991/2023 Signatory 32 Years 35th Anniversary Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 54.1%
Mortlach 32 Years Signatory 35th Anniversary is an exceptionally well-aged Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky that represents the pinnacle of traditional Scottish whisky craftsmanship. This edition, released as part of Signatory Vintage’s 35th anniversary series, was distilled on May 14, 1991, and bottled on October 4, 2023, giving it an impressive age of 32 years. The long maturation took place in a First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt, cask number 4241, which has significantly influenced both the aroma and flavor profile, where sherry notes play a clear and complex role.
The whisky is bottled at natural cask strength of 54.1% ABV, without chill-filtration and with natural color preserved. This ensures an authentic and unaltered experience of Mortlach’s meaty distillate and the deep, dark nuances of the Oloroso cask. Only 580 bottles were released, making this edition both rare and highly sought after among collectors and mature whisky connoisseurs.
On the nose, you encounter an elegant and intense aroma with notes of cedarwood, caramel cream, and a subtle touch of mushrooms prepared in creamy sauce. The taste unfolds richly and layered with dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and dried fruits like figs and raisins. The oak adds spicy depth and structure, while the finish is long, warming, and well-balanced with hints of orange marmalade, vanilla, and a touch of leather. This is a whisky that demands time, patience, and attention, and rewards with a complexity that reflects both its age and the dedicated craftsmanship behind it.
Mortlach 1991 is not just a lovely whisky but a time capsule. It represents an era of distillation, maturation, and cask treatment, delivering a tasting experience that goes beyond the ordinary. It is aimed at the discerning whisky enthusiast who appreciates depth, elegance, and a sense of history in every drop.
