2014 A.D. Rattray Cask Collection Mortlach 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The Beast of Dufftown returns! Rattray's first release from this iconic distillery in over a decade is said to be well worth the wait. Refill bourbon wood gives a fascinating insight into the very particular spirit character produced here. “Agricultural” is a description you won’t often find in a whisky’s marketing, however, it rather neatly and vividly summarises the rugged nature of this wonderful dram. With a growing following amongst malt afficionados, this should sell fast! 297 bottled filled at 60.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Lemon gold. Nose: Bergamot orange, steamed Epicure potato and braised cabbage. Palate: Chicken crackling, roast chestnut and sweetcorn fritter. Finish: Earthy Ceylon vanilla, lapsang souchong and a lingering engine oil smoke.
