Description

The Mortlach Rare Old is an entry-level single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, launched in 2014 as part of a new premium range by owner Diageo. It is a non-age statement expression, matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, including first-fill and refill American Bourbon, heavily charred hogsheads, and sherry seasoned European oak casks, specifically dry Oloroso sherry butts. Bottled at 43.4% ABV, it showcases Mortlach's complex and bold character, known for its unique 2.81 distillation process. This release was designed to appeal to new audiences and highlight the breadth of Mortlach's flavor.
