Mortlach – 1971 32 Years Natural Cask Strength (70cl, 50.1%)

A Speyside single malt from Mortlach, distilled in 1971 and aged for 32 years. It is an official distillery bottling at a natural cask strength of 50.1%, in a 70cl bottle, and was issued within Diageo's Super Premium series. The colour is pale straw. Floral aromas lead the nose, with meadow flowers, buttercup and pollen, plus farmy hints, porridge, green banana and hot milk, followed by acacia honey and a touch of coconut milk. On the palate it is creamy and sweet, becoming gingery with white pepper, nutmeg, light caramel and honey. The finish is long and peppery.
