2013 Signatory Vintage Mortlach 12 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #60 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

"...gives a good impression of the distillery character of the beast of Dufftown - fruity, malty, salty and meaty." - whiskybase.com

The internet is full of praise regarding Signatory's 100 Proof bottlings, a series that continues to put many other independents to shame. Here's a cracking value from a sought-after name in single malt that's rarely encountered: Mortlach, matured in second-fill oloroso butts - an exercise in restraint from Signatory that sees the sherry input balanced instead of prevailing, meaning the meaty and textural qualities that make Mortlach what it is are nicely expressed. Apparently it 'swims' well too, so you can extend the value with a splash of water to open up the flavours. Well done Signatory, keep them coming! 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... "A very lovely and a young Mortlach. The wood is not too dormant on this one, so gives a good impression of the distillery character of the beast of Dufftown - fruity, malty, salty and meaty." - whiskybase.com

"Good Mortlach, the refill oloroso is secondary as it should be. A hint of sulfur and almost a touch of mezcal but otherwise the depth and nominal meatiness familiar to Mortlach drinkers, Excellent value for money." - whiskybase.com

... Full bodied and mouth-coating. Sweet and spicy with rich, creamy depth. Orchard fruits and dried fruits dominate, with green herbs quietly in the background. Finish: Medium to long. Continues in the same rich style, now with a hint of chocolate. Gradually turning greener toward the end. Comment: Quirky nose, rich fruity palate. - whiskysaga.com
