Mortlach – 14 Years Old Single Malt (70cl, 43.4%)

This is a 14 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Mortlach, bottled at 43.4% in a 70cl bottle. The nose combines lemon zest and lemon curd with apple pie, cinnamon sponge and vanilla cream with a peppery touch. The palate is full of spice, with ginger, clove, nutmeg and white pepper, balanced by dry floral tea, melted white chocolate with peaches and cream, sweet malt and earthy oak. In the finish the ginger returns, warmer, with grapefruit peel and polished oak.
