A Christmas gift dram from Paula (Islay blog posts)
Mortlach 1993 (11yo)
Bottled by: Murray McDavid
Speyside
Bourbon cask, finished in Graham’s Port casks
1800 bottles, 46% abv
Mortlach means ‘duck massacre’ apparently…
Colour: 1970s brown leather sofa
Nose: Apples, berries and peaches. Blackcurrants and nail varnish, lemony and sour. Finally White chocolate and nutmeg.
Palate: Grapey blackcurrants oaky and very clean
Finish: Very short
Overall: Easy drinking, clean and quite sweet. Not as big as other Mortlachs. Expected more on the palate after the nose, but still enjoyable.
Person: Clive Owen. Started off strong (Sin City) but has slightly disappointed since.
