Mortlach 15 Year Old – Gordon & MacPhail Bottling (Early 2000s Bottling)

This exceptional single malt represents a distinguished collaboration between Speyside's renowned Mortlach distillery and the legendary independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail. Bottled in the early 2000s, this 15-year-old expression captures Mortlach's characteristic robust and complex spirit during a period when the distillery's output was primarily reserved for blending, making independent bottlings particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Gordon & MacPhail, with their unparalleled expertise in cask selection and maturation, have showcased Mortlach's distinctive character in this carefully curated release. Known as "The Beast of Dufftown," Mortlach's unique production methods, including partial triple distillation and unusually shaped stills, create a singularly complex whisky that benefits beautifully from extended maturation. This bottling represents both the craftsmanship of one of Scotland's most respected distilleries and the curatorial excellence of Gordon & MacPhail's storied heritage.
