Mortlach The Katana’s Edge

The Mortlach Special Release 2023 is a gustatory masterpiece, embodying the very essence of artisanal mastery. This exceptional single malt is shaped by a subtle balance between sweetness and savory flavors, a bold rarity among Speyside malts. Inspired by the distinctive umami, the Master Blender paired the finesse of Kanosuke Whisky Japanese casks with the elegance of ex-Pinot Noir casks. The bright golden hue reveals sweet and enchanting aromas of ripe melon and pear. On the palate, dry and spicy flavors cut through a sparkling sweetness, intertwining to create a rich and complex umami depth of taste. The finish, long, enticing, and spicy, leaves a sweet-savory intensity as deep as the mark of a mighty katana.
