Tasting Notes by Pierre_W

This particular Mortlach was distilled on 15 October 1987 and was bottled by Mackillop's at cask strength from cask number 3689 in April 2011.

The nose is beautiful with notes of dark chocolate, toffee, sweet jelly and a hint of smoke. With water there is milk chocolate and honey.

The palate is full-bodied with beeswax, toffee and a discreet spiciness - simply exceptional! With water the sweetness diminishes significantly.

The finish is rich, long, warming, sweet, and peppery at the end of the tongue.

Mortlach hardly ever disappoints, and this is another very good bottling.
