DESCRIPTION
Premiumfässer mit schottischem Whisky aufstöbern – das stand schon immer im Mittelpunkt der Elixir Distillers. Seit 2002 veröffentlicht der unabhängige Abfüller diese unter dem Namen The Single Malts of Scotland. Zu der Reihe herausragender, unverfälschter Vintage Single Malts, zählt auch die Director's Special-Serie. Deren Markenzeichen? Die Fässer werden von Sukhinder Singh, Kopf der Elixir Distillers und einer der wohl renommiertesten Whiskyhändler weltweit, persönlich ausgewählt.

Die Riege der handverlesenen Raritäten erweitert nun der Mortlach 31 y.o. Nach Destillation am 14. Juni 1990 waren dem Speyside Single Malt mehr als drei Dekaden in einem Refill Sherry Butt gegönnt. Das Ergebnis: ein vielschichtiges Profil mit Gebäcknoten, Sirup, Pflaumenmarmelade und Trockenfrüchten für besondere Genussmomente.

TASTING NOTES
Nose Saftiger Kuchen mit Trockenfrüchten, dessen leicht verbrannte Ränder mit duftender Brandy-Butter bedeckt sind, gefolgt von Zuckerrübensirup und Ingwerkeksen.
Palate Scheiben von Salzkaramellkuchen, saftige Pflaumenmarmelade und frische Zimtschnecken. Es folgen geröstete Haselnüsse und mit Zartbitterschokolade überzogene Cranberrys.
Finish Angenehm und wärmend, mit einem bleibenden Eindruck von Anis-Vanille-Cupcakes.

  • Mortlach - Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

    The Mortlach Distillery, founded in 1823 by James Findlater, Donald Mackintosh, and Alex Gordon, is located in the Dufftown region of Scotland and was the first licensed distillery in this area. It played a central role in the development of Scotch whisky. Over the years, the distillery changed hands several times and underwent various transformations, becoming particularly known for its unique distillation process that makes the whisky especially rich and robust.

    A distinctive feature of the Mortlach Distillery is its triple distillation, which leads to a robust and flavorful spirit. The use of cold worm tubs and a copper-deficient environment gives the whisky a characteristic meatiness and a hint of sulfur, making it ideal for aging in ex-sherry casks.

    Mortlach whiskies are known for their rich, complex flavor profiles with notes of dark fruits, spices, and a subtle sulfur note. The official releases include the "Rare Old," "Special Strength," 18-year-old, and 25-year-old variants. Particularly popular is the "Very Rare" series, which is valued for its limited availability and high quality.

    Mortlach has a production capacity of approximately 2.9 million liters per year, and the water for production comes from the Dykehead spring area in the Conval Hills. Mortlach was long primarily featured in blends, especially in Johnnie Walker blends, but gained recognition as a single malt through independent bottlings and Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range. In 2014, Diageo introduced an official Mortlach range, making this cult favorite brand accessible to a wider audience.

  • The Single Malts of Scotland

    As an independent bottler, Elixir Distillers searches for casks from various distilleries in Scotland to find the best malts. Each cask is tasted, and only when it is deemed to be of the highest quality is it bottled in their Single Malts of Scotland series as a single cask or as part of a small batch.

    Many of the bottlings from Single Malts of Scotland have received awards and have been praised by critics. As it becomes increasingly difficult to find such old casks, it is unlikely that any whisky will ever be repeated.

    Each bottling is one of a limited number, making it perfect as a special gift or offering the chance to try something truly unique.
