Gordon & Macphail Mortlach 25 Years Old 750ml

Gordon & MacPhail's Mortlach 25-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression from the renowned Mortlach Distillery, located in Scotland's Speyside region. Established in 1823, Mortlach is celebrated for its robust and complex whiskies, often referred to as "The Beast of Dufftown" due to their rich character. This particular bottling has been matured for a quarter of a century in a combination of first-fill and refill sherry casks, a hallmark of Gordon & MacPhail's meticulous cask selection and maturation process. 

On the nose, it presents a rich and full aroma with notes of sherry and orange marmalade, complemented by stewed dates, prunes, and underlying herbal nuances that evolve into brown sugar and gentle toffee highlights. The palate reveals pronounced sherry influences, with flavors of crème brûlée, sultanas, raisins, and hints of mature oak, underscored by aniseed and dark chocolate. The finish is medium in length, leaving lingering impressions of charred oak and cocoa powder. 

The bottle design pays homage to the traditional distillery labels, featuring classic typography and imagery that reflect the heritage and authenticity of both Mortlach and Gordon & MacPhail. This presentation underscores the brand's long-standing relationships with Scotland's distilleries and its dedication to offering unique single malt expressions. 

This 25-year-old Mortlach is a testament to the distillery's robust spirit and Gordon & MacPhail's expertise in cask maturation, offering a complex and rewarding experience for whisky enthusiasts.
