Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark chocolate, dried cherry, beef stock. A savoury richness that is unmistakably Mortlach — dense and meaty, with sherry sweetness woven through. Beneath it, old leather, espresso and a whiff of sulphur.

Palate

Full-bodied and complex — stewed fruit, dark toffee, game meat, a flash of black pepper. The 2.81 distillation gives the spirit a weight and meatiness unique in Speyside. Sherry cask influence adds dried fruit and chocolate without dominating. Mid-palate brings roasted walnut and a savoury umami depth.

Finish

Long, savoury, with dark chocolate, dried fruit and a lingering meaty warmth that defines the distillery.

Expert Review

8.5/10

The Beast of Dufftown — rich, meaty and complex, shaped by one of Scotch whisky's strangest distillation regimes.
