A mighty Mortlach single malt from Diageo's 2021 Special Releases! This expression from the distillery affectionately known as the Beast of Dufftown is a 13 year old whisky, matured in a combination of virgin and refill American oak casks, resulting in a particularly powerful flavour profile. The theme for 2021's Special Releases is Legends Untold, inspired stories real and imagined around each distillery, and this one features a howling wolf on its label. Wolves are great.
Nose: Toffee, red berries with aromatic woody and sweet BBQ notes.
Palate: Thick texture, here’s a whisky you can chew. The big bold flavours are almost overwhelming.
Finish: Aromatic and minty.
