Mortlach 16 Year Old Distillers Dram 70clBrand: Mortlach | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 43.4% | Origin: Speyside, Scotland | Vol: 700ml
Intro/Heritage:This is where tradition meets tenacity. The Mortlach 16 Year Old Distillers Dram pays homage to the legendary 1990s Flora & Fauna release but with even more structure, power, and refinement. Built on the backbone of Mortlach’s signature 2.81 distillation, this expression channels the distillery’s bold, meaty style into a symphony of dark fruit, spice, and oak. It’s Speyside, reimagined, with fangs.
Tasting Profile:Nose: Deep and brooding. Blackberries, stewed plums, and sherry-soaked raisins swirl with tobacco leaf, antique wood, and earthy spice, like stepping into a dimly lit library filled with old leather and port-soaked fruitcake.Palate: Full-bodied and commanding. Dark chocolate, clove, molasses, and roasted espresso beans merge with fig and sweet malt. The texture is dense, velvet with weight.Finish: Long, savory, and dry. Oaky tannins, cracked pepper, and a touch of umami linger long after the last sip, a signature Mortlach sendoff.
Production Details:Matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks, this 16-year-old is a textbook showcase of Mortlach’s complex distillation, known as "The Way" which distills the spirit 2.81 times for a uniquely rich and textured profile. Bottled at 43.4% ABV, unfiltered for purity of character.
Perfect For:Dark suits, deeper conversations, and evenings that deserve something with edge. A pour for whisky lovers who want elegance with muscle, refined, but never polite.
Expert Notes:Often described as the most balanced Mortlach expression, the 16YO sits perfectly between the firepower of the 12 and the luxury of the 20. Revered by critics for its structure, and beloved by connoisseurs for its old-school Speyside weight.
Customer Reviews:🗣️ "Rich, meaty, and masterfully sherried. My go-to when I want to impress."🗣️ "It drinks like a whisky twice the price. Mortlach 16 is a sleeper classic."🗣️ "If elegance had teeth, this is what it would taste like."
Interesting Fact:Mortlach’s complex 2.81 distillation process is the only one of its kind in Scotland, using six stills and a baffling setup that’s as much engineering feat as it is distilling art.
Serving Suggestions:Neat is essential, in a wide-bottomed glass to open its layers. Add a few drops of water to unlock even more sherry richness and dried fruit. Pair with a grilled steak, mushroom risotto, or aged Manchego to accentuate its savory character.
Distillery Background:Founded in 1823, Mortlach was Dufftown’s first legal distillery, long admired by blenders for its powerful spirit. Known as “The Beast of Dufftown,” it’s a Speyside anomaly: dense, meaty, and unapologetically bold. The 16 Year Old Distillers Dram proves why some beasts belong in glass.
