Tasting Notes (General Profile for G&M Mortlach 15yr):
-
Aroma: Rich and robust, showcasing the distillery’s signature meaty/sulphury note (the “beast of Dufftown”), beautifully integrated with sweet sherry notes, dark fruit (prune, fig, raisin), leather, and old oak.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and chewy texture. Complex flavors of dark chocolate, Christmas cake spices (cinnamon, clove), black currant, malt, and a savory umami/beef broth character, often followed by a strong pulse of black pepper.
-
Finish: Long, warming, and powerful, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cocoa, and persistent oak spice and dryness.
