SEPTEMBER 2020

Welcome to the best kept secret in Scottish whisky! An almost 200 year-old distillery, founded on the site of an illicit still, and the oldest in Dufftown that uses it’s own, idiosyncratic ‘2.81 times distillation process’ to produce a whisky that doesn’t rely on peat to make it huge. Add to that this whisky is also exclusively aged in first fill and refill sherry casks! That’s right – for September we have a bonafide sherry-bomb – the Mortlach 15 year old from Gordon & MacPhails ‘Distillery Labels’ collection.

Mortlach’s bold flavour profile has seen it dubbed “The Beast of Dufftown” and is said to exist somewhere in between mellow and smoky. In a region renowned for its mellower, gentler ‘whisky-vibe’, Mortlach stands out for it’s robust, muscular and rich character. Enjoy
