Gordon MacPhail Mortlach 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml Bottle

Great to see an autonomous bottler stacked onto distiller. Mortlach I've said everything truly in my survey of the 18. Is it on a par with the 18...I can't generally make sure to be straightforward however this successes on VFM. Great Mortlach you get the daintiness of a Spreyside folded over a strong substantial sulfur center. Beautiful....4.25 from a recently opened jug which is noteworthy and I'll be back in my preferred bar one week from now to attempt it again after its opened up. Id purchase a jug in the event that I could get hold of one. Definately prevailing over the springbank Barolo 9 I matched it with.

DISCLAIMER: This audit is for the multi year old Mortlach from Exemplary Container not the multi year G&M. Stop number 51 on the SDT is Mortlach. This Speyside refinery is possessed by Diageo and is basically utilized as a mixing segment in Johnnie Walker anyway there are a couple of legitimate single malt discharges. This container originated from the autonomous bottlers at Great Barrel. A solitary first fill hogshead (not certain if its ex whiskey or sherry) was utilized and just 384 jugs were discharged. Refined in 2002 packaged in 2014 making it 11+ years old. 46% ABV non chill separated and regular shade of pale straw which would highlight the barrel being ex whiskey. The nose is splendid and citrusy. Lemon and a little lime. Buttercream vanilla light oak. Some sharp liquor consume at an early stage. Light whiskey notes butterscotch and caramel. Furniture clean and somewhat of a metallic sensation. Some almond glue and sooner or later a pleasant slim layer of smoke shows up sufficiently only to tell you its there. Sourdough bread malty. More organic products appear as plums some saline solution and olive oil also. A homogenized nose. Nothing truly stands apart with the exception of the citrus and everything else I needed to battle for. A sweet appearance on the sense of taste with a dash of flavor. Lemony citrus and a general fruitiness however like the nose nothing sticks out. Light brackish water and vanilla. Powerless raisins and feeble smoke. Not mind boggling by any means basic. Nothing amiss with it simply nothing unique. Medium bodied mouthfeel that starts dry at that point becomes mouthwatering...then dry...then delectable. A medium length get done with citrus cream and raisins. Dry. Practically the meaning of fair. Nothing at all stands apart with the exception of the citrus. Hard to pull unmistakable notes from it. Tragically this is another shoddy contribution from an autonomous bottler. At $88 its not worth the cost of confirmation. On account of @Telex for the example. 3 stars. Good health
