Mortlach reviews

Another Mortlach! This one bottled by LMDW's Artist Collective range, at 48% and with a 'sherry finish'. Must have been quite 'fresh' sherry casks, judging by the colour, which is a very attractive…

I've been hoovering up Mortlachs left, right and centre recently, so when I saw this had spent it's nine years in an ex sherry butt (amount of fills unknown!), I bit. Quite interested to see how it…
