Mortlach : 20 Year

A Scotch Single Malt Whisky Harmoniously Combining Power and Elegance

Mortlach: A Hidden Gem of Speyside

Located in the town of Dufftown, Scotland, the Mortlach distillery is renowned for its one-of-a-kind single malt, a true treasure of Speyside. Founded in 1823 by James Gordon and Alexander Cowie, it is often nicknamed "The Beast of Dufftown" for its robust, rich style, a true emblem of the region's character.

Mortlach 20 Years Old Whisky is a selection of the distillery's finest single malts, aged for at least two decades to soften the signature robustness of "The Beast of Dufftown" and add complexity. A Scotch Whisky that would no doubt have made its founder, Alexander Cowie, proud.

A Unique Distillation Method

The distillation process behind this Single Malt Whisky is complex and unique. The whisky is distilled two and a half times, a method that gives Mortlach its distinctive character. Combined with extended ageing of 20 years in oak casks, this method produces a whisky with a rich texture and full body, showcasing deep notes of dried fruit, cedar, leather and tobacco.
