Tasting Notes
Mortlach 15 Year Old Producer Notes
Aroma: Distinctly malty initially with fresh aromas of a woodland hedgerow. Delicate sherry notes linger and weave with rich indulgent toffee, sweet liquorice, and orange marmalade.
Taste: Reminiscent of a black forest cake; the initial sweetness develops into fruity blackcurrant jam, maraschino cherry, and creamy vanilla. Freshly peeled orange notes add a fresh lift.
Finish: Well rounded; hints of candied citrus fruits and oak complement the lingering malty edge.
