G&M CC Mortlach 1998 KWM Cask

G&M CC Mortlach 1998 KWM Cask

This item is archived.

One of a pair of casks from Gordon Macphail selected by and bottled exclusively for KWM in 2021. This 22 year old is from a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel, bottled at 58%, and one of only 183 bottles. We were drawn to this cask partly because it is atypical of the distillery style, and because it is a tropicl fruit bomb.

700ml ml
Region:Scotland > Speyside
Vintage:1998

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: agave nectar, Sauternes, and foie gras... damn this has me craving foie gras and sauternes; a touch waxy, coconut icing sugar and Wine Gums; floral with soft toasted oak, candied lemon, and moving into tropical fruits: ripe pineapple, kiwi and guava.

Palate: soft, fruity and floral; still waxy with more decadent agave nectar and Sauternes; I don't find foie gras on the palate, but definitely some sweet and sour pork... a gentle nod to Mortlach's classic meaty note coming through? loaded with fruit, melons, apricot, kiwi, and pineapple; toasty with Wine Gums, and sweet spices.

Finish: warming and decadent with fading spices and tropical fruit; medium-long, soft, and coating.

Comment: this is bright, elegant, fruity, and decadent; not the meaty-sulphury Mortlach you're used to; a stunning twenty-two-year-old tropical fruit bomb!
