Mortlach 16 - Scott's Selection

Mortlach 16 yrs, 1990-2007, 56%

Color: Chenin Blanc.
Nose: Red fruits and berries, smoky tones as well, dry leaves of green bushes... (sorry I'm Dutch...) this is going to be something very nice... on the nose that is. Earth and smoke, slightly medicinal...
Taste: Fruity, smoky and quite peppery. Some seasalt comes in, in the middle, the spirit becomes dryer, softer, some caramels, expensive chocolates, deliciouss!
Aftertaste: Dark dried fruits, berries, sweet like candy, quite a short finish... Pleasant anyway!
Score: 92.
Remarks: Mortlach is one of my favorites... This one get's quite close to the Port Finish...
