Decadent Drams Mortlach 20 Year Old (1 of 179)

Decadent Drams Mortlach 20 Year Old is a limited independent bottling from the legendary Mortlach Distillery — a distillery famed for its rich, muscular spirit and often called “The Beast of Dufftown.”

Distilled in 2005 and matured for 20 years in a single first-fill barrel, this release was bottled at cask strength, with only 179 bottles drawn. It captures Mortlach’s signature waxy weight and depth, but in a brighter, more fruit-led style than the darker, more meaty profile often associated with the distillery.

This is a serious collector’s whisky — small in outturn, distinctive in character, and a beautiful example of what independent bottlers can coax from mature Mortlach.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Vanilla custard, lemon oil, green orchard fruit, flower honey, and soft wax.

Palate: Rich and mouth-coating, with barley sugar, lemon curd, dried mango, melon, and a gentle dessert-wine sweetness.

Finish: Long and elegant, showing waxy texture, delicate herbs, citrus brightness, and lingering natural sweetness.
