I've tried many Mortlachs through the years, but I've never quite become confident with this meaty and spicy character. I like my malt to taste a bit of malt, but of course, there's plenty of great Mortlachs out there. Let's hope this is one of them. And don't take this tasting too seriously as you see there's some evaporation going on meaning the whisky in a full bottle could be a bit different.
Mortlach 16yo 58.1% Cadenhead's
Dark amber color on this one. It smells of leather, onions, sage, garlic, thyme, oak, cinnamon, chili, a lot of different spices, rich and perfumy. This is a real sherry bomb. The taste is on cinnamon, earthy, damp, old books, coal, sulphur, fino sherry notes, burnt, a real sherry-blast. I wish I could rate this one higher as it is a great sherried dram, but for me there's just a bit too much of what I'd call off-notes in this one.
