Description
Mortlach 17 Year Old 2008 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl 48.9% is a characterful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by the respected independent bottler Signatory Vintage. Distilled in 2008 at Mortlach Distillery and matured for 17 years, this whisky showcases the powerful and robust style that has made Mortlach one of Speyside’s most distinctive distilleries.
Located in the whisky town of Dufftown, Mortlach Distillery was founded in 1823 and is famous for its unique distillation process often referred to as the “2.81 distillation” method. This complex technique contributes to Mortlach’s rich, full-bodied spirit, which is sometimes described as “The Beast of Dufftown.”
During 17 years of maturation in oak casks, the whisky develops layers of complexity while preserving the distillery’s signature depth and structure. The influence of the cask introduces notes of caramel, spice, and oak that complement the naturally rich and meaty character of Mortlach spirit.
This expression is part of the Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection, a series that highlights whiskies bottled at their natural strength. Bottled at 48.9% ABV, the whisky retains excellent flavour intensity while remaining balanced and approachable.
