oh - blatant part - which has something, very independent, tastes really delicious even if the notes isolated that does not give way, vllt must have a her too short over 50 ¬ is really good stuff for the bored advanced

Nose

Beef tenderloin with lovage, tender burned match note, garlic, removes oranges, a bit of citrus, some wax, Burgol shoe polish, new leather jacket, sweet - spicy sour oak, bay leaf, with a bit of aeration: feels slightly like carbonated nose - orange soda with Eggpups (smell of sulfur like hard-boiled eggs)

Taste

sourish - spicy fresh oak with young fresh bitterness, chili tingling, wax on the tongue, slightly viscous, vanilla, intense lemon, caramel, toffee - beautiful sweetness mixes with a fresh spicy oak, tingles the palate - with some chewing matches with tendency to light dirty sulfur

Finish

strong intense spicy lemony, sweet, dry - lemon becomes tangerine, tangerine peach ... stays long on the tongue, wood, wax spices

For me Mortlach was always interesting. That's why I started with this bottle. I was pleasantly surprised. From the price-performance ratio a good malt.

Nose

You have to like it. Matches. Smells too good for me to think of sulfur. Wonderfully mineral. Light honey and raisins. Dominant tea notes. Not unpleasant, but somehow exciting. I know that Mortlach is hated and loved for all this. I like that very much. Now I have some orange peel. It makes him feel good to breathe. Then it goes from the match to the wood. Light vanilla flavored with oak .. The leather saddle also hangs in the room.

Taste

Orange or rather lemon. Again the matches. Honey, caramel and citrus peels. Slightly mineral and drying. Now he is getting sharp. There's caramel and it's gone again. Barley and grassy leather conquer the mouth. Everything looks very harmonious. Good choice of barrel.

Finish

85 85

Middle to short. Oily and mineral, it goes too fast. Peppery lemon and cinnamon. Almonds lie in the grass and complement this experience. A pleasant finish.

Vanilla, honey, orange. For 15 years still pretty sharp, especially in the aftertaste. No wrong Mortlach, especially considering the price.

It has been very worthwhile to try this whisky again, like the Linkwood 15yo I have been able to rediscover this Mortlach several times.

Nose

Horrible Eiernote, but soon lays down. Orange lemonade, unripe apples, unripe plums, burning matches

Taste

Large portion of white currant jam, wood smoke, soft, fruity, oranges, horse stable

Finish

Briefly Olorosonoten flash, slightly dry, again light wood smoke with immature plum

a nice dram, quite quaffable.
86/100

Nose

confectionery with a very light sherry influence, oranges and nuts, apricots, golden raisins. hints of honey. after 10 minutes you can get some oak and whiffs of smoke. unfortunately latter brushes away all the nice orange aromas.

Taste

spicy arrival, the sherry influence is not very obvious. malt, slightly bitter oak and crystallized orange peel. nuts galore.

Finish

medium in length, spicy.
