Mortlach 26 Year 2019 Special Release
Situated in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland, Dufftown is known as the Whisky Capital of the World. The village, which produces more malt whisky than any other town in Scotland, is home to seven distilleries, the oldest of which is Mortlach Distillery. Mortlach Distillery was founded in 1823 by James Findlater, together with his friends Alexander Gordon and James Macintosh. In 1831, however, Findlater sold the distillery to John Robertson for the paltry sum of ₤270. In 1837, it was sold again to John and James Grant, who dismantled the distilling equipment and shuttered the doors to the distillery. For the next two decades, the building was used first as a brewery, and then, rather curiously, a church.

Tasting Notes
The complex nose features notes of wood, nuts, peaches, dried fruit and dates, along with toasted oak and leathery overtones. It's full-bodied and extra-creamy on the palate with chocolate and vanilla, leather and tobacco, raisins, dark fruit, and gingerbread. Finishes extremely long and slightly warming with notes of pepper, orange zest, a pleasant sweetness, and lingering chocolate and salted caramel.
