Mortlach Special Release 2022 Whisky

Mortlach “The Lure of the Blood Moon” Special Release 2022 is a robust and unique single malt Scotch, bottled at a high cask strength of 57.8%. This expression stands out due to its complex maturation process, which included finishing in a combination of virgin oak, Red Muscat, and Tawny Port casks. The result is an intense and weighty profile. The nose is prickly yet robust, revealing Mortlach's signature meaty, savory character alongside winey notes of red berries, plums, and stewed apples, layered with cinnamon and pepper. The palate delivers depth with roasted coffee, hints of chocolate, liquorice, and ginger, balanced by fruit pastry and dark honey. This high-proof whisky is a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a non-age-statement release that pushes flavor boundaries.
