Description

A heavyweight Speyside malt distillery that is home to Scotland's most complex distillation regime. Famously distilling its spirit 2.81 times, its whisky is synonymous with the Johnnie Walker blends and beloved as a single malt, particularly when sherry cask-aged. This Mortlach 23 Year Old 1972 is part of the now-discontinued Rare Malts Selection, a high-strength, full-bodied Speyside single malt bottled at 59.4% natural cask strength, showcasing Mortlach's signature complexity and robust, meaty style.
