Mortlach 2013 13 Year Old Cask #5753

About

This 2013 Mortlach is a rich and multifaceted Speyside single malt matured in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask with a two-year finishing period. At 56% ABV, it delivers a full-bodied character that showcases the profound influence of sherry maturation. The result is a sophisticated dram brimming with complexity and depth. On the nose, dark and luxurious aromas emerge: dark raisins, leather, and cocoa form the foundation, complemented by wooden spice notes and delicate floral hints. The palate reveals a thick, mouth-coating texture with spicy arrival—cracked black pepper and cinnamon—alongside roasted oak and subtle citrus notes. The finish is dry and lingering, with persistent wood spice and a controlled bitterness that underscores the whisky's overall complexity and balance.
