Tasting Notes
"This is a rich and heavy offering Mortlach. With a bit more assertive spice than the 16 year old expression, it comes in with notes of vanilla, sea salt, and fig. Notes of raisin and leather linger on the finish. This is another layered release from the distillery, one to sit and savor."
