Mortlach – 18 Year Old Murray McDavid (70cl, 54.3%)

A single cask Mortlach from Speyside, bottled by Murray McDavid in their Mission Gold range, in a 70cl bottle. Distilled in 2008, it spent 14 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, then four years in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask from Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola, and was bottled in 2026. Only 244 bottles were produced. It is non-chill-filtered and bottled at a cask strength of 54.3%. The nose offers baked apple, wax and dried apricot. The palate is chewy malt, mellow toffee and peach, and the finish brings brioche, stroopwafle and buttery spice.
