Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Stuart P

    • Nose

      Where to start? Savoury and creamy at first, with Stilton and salami, then walnuts and stone fruit. There’s a refreshing flinty, wet-stone note lurking in the background, as well as some soft floral notes, and toffee sweetness.

    • Palate

      Layer upon layer of flavour – honeyed fruit, orange oil, peaches, then rich notes of toffee and woody spice. Rich and mouthfilling, but clean, not overpowering.

    • Finish

      Rich treacle toffee and malt is the main characteristic, with the spices providing an aromatic backdrop.

    • Comment

      I was lucky enough to try the 70 Year Old in Edinburgh back in 2010, and I was struck at the time at how fresh and sprightly the whisky seemed. Well, this even older dram is no different, and it demonstrates perfectly how the right barrel can transform a spirit. There is plenty of wood influence in the whisky, but it’s not overdone, and the freshness is staggering for such a venerable bottle.

    Anthony Minessali,

    This was a very good whisky with flavors of orange, honey,peach and a nutty flavor but bit on the pricy side though but worth it

    Ferdinand Von Diez Van Zpelz,

    Pretty good for such a cheap whisky, reminds me of an autumn afternoon in Scotland, it makes me feel like William Wallace

    Hans J?rgen Pedersen,

    This is without a doubt the best whisky I have ever tasted! Full bodied, well balanced, and smooth; with all the fragrant leather and sticky tar you'd expect from an old Mortlach. With this whisky in my glass, my previous tasting scale of 0 to 3 was suddenly expanded to 0 to 5 — and this one comes in on "4.5". Somehow I feel that it could still be improved, yet I don't see how. Maybe I will, someday, get a chance to taste a whisky who beat the Mortlach 1939 /75 yo, but I dare not hope so.
