This Mortlach, distilled in 1978 and aged for 43 years, is a delicious single malt aged in Refill American Hogshead. It has a beautiful golden colour, balance and expressiveness. The Private Collection range brings together a collection of exceptional single malts in terms of age and quality. Made from single casks and shaped by time, they are a tribute to the distilleries, whether they are famous, discreet or silent. Private Collection captures the very essence of Gordon & MacPhail: the sublimation of whisky.
Gourmand, complexe. Noisette, amande, poire.
Tasting notes
Nose : Sweet poached pears and demerara sugar aromas complement roasted hazelnuts. Notes of dried banana led to crystallised violets.
Palate : Rich tropical fruit flavours give way to subtle aniseed and milk chocolate. Cracked black pepper comes to the fore alongside Seville orange zest and mature oak.
Overall : A medium - bodied finish with toasted almonds and fresh red apples.
