🇬🇧 Mortlach 11 YO – Hunter Laing

From the independent bottler Hunter Laing a Mortlach 11 year old to mark the Twentieth anniversary of The Old Malt Series in 2018.

I can understand why they chose Mortlach because they make some interesting whisky, but I think I expected a little more for an anniversary than this 11 year old.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice whisky but I am not blown away with this one. I have had other Mortlach with more taste.
The nose has more to offer than the taste in my opinion and the better experience comes by adding water. This gives it a little more depth and fullness, especially in the scent. It’s a nice bottle to have to show the diversity of Mortlach.

: Nice oilyness, ginger, light pepper, oak, a little vanilla, heathery

I opens up with some water and give a better oily mouth feel and it give more oak and old leather in the nose. It can take the water.
