Mortlach 13 Year Old Legends Untold Special Release 2021 700mL

700mL @ 55.9% abv Mortlach, the Beast of Dufftown, is darkly robust, a true creature of the moonlight shadows; this expression presents​ finely tuned highlights that pour from its rich, primal heart.A magnificently intense, well-structured Mortlach with a character that rises to new heights inspired by virgin casks.​A mellow and rounded nose-feel lulls the senses, then introduces a first soaring note of freshly oiled wood. Next, rising through this, savoury and meaty notes suggest the beast within yet also carry a sweet tartness, suggesting roast pheasant with redcurrant jelly. The senses are heightened as these pitch perfect aromas in turn reveal a deeper moorland base-note, rich in heather pollen and freshly crushed herbs. A drop of water completes the anticipation, bringing out a sweet, fruity hint of lime.
