Tasting Notes
"Mortlach 14 Year Alexander's Way shows a quick hit of Cointreau to start things off, followed by soft notes of fresh oak, pear and white pepper and a few other spices. The palate is also fairly spicy, with cinnamon and nutmeg making an encore, but luckily there's also a touch of barley sugar and menthol. A slightly dry and somewhat oak-forward Mortlach."
