нос 89 · вкус 86 · финиш 85
A very lovely and a young Mortlach. The wood is not too dormant on this one, so gives a good impression of the distillery character of the beast of Dufftown - fruity, malty, salty and meaty.

| Вкус | 88 | Malty, meat stock, pineapple, pear drops (very Mortlach) |
| Финиш | 89 | Medium, rather salty, meaty, slightly spicy. Rather hot when drank neat - very Mortlach again. |
Tasted more like first full bourbon to me, with a touch more sweetness than I would have liked. Hints of orchard fruits, dough, and vanilla. This isn't technically flawed but I do not find it very interesting.
Not an easy malt to handle at first, at first impression it's hot, with a time and water it shows some complexity and improves a lot

Nose is soft caramel toffee with a little fresh oak. On the palate it's floral, nutty, vegetal and malty (very Mortlach). Finish is a little more of the same and it does hang around for quite a while. Lovely.

The closed nose takes down my global rating; I would ignore it and rate this whisky around 88/100 overall. It is evolving in the mouth. The alcohol is there, but not too agressive, it serves well the fresh fruits and the refreshing feeling, here. The Oloroso is subtle, but is there all along. I do not detect the famous meaty notes often present in Mortlach distillates. I have one or two other bottles where it's much more obvious. But the present whisky does not need that to be interesting. If you're looking for a fruity yet not sugary whisky, to change from your usual bottles of tar, go for it, the value/price is excellent.

| Нос | 80 | Quite hard to nose, this whisky takes a long time (or drops of water) to open up. A bit of vanilla in a ton of alcohol, gradually leave some space for subtle notes of cherry, cherry stones and even cherry wood, with a distant smokey feeling. A bit of cider as well. |
| Вкус | 88 | A very short wave of milk chocolate, immediately followed by fresh apples, then a tsunami of lemon. You take a deep breath, and here come cherry stones, a few crushed almonds. Very fresh, suitable for an evening sip in summer, despite the high alcohol content. |
| Финиш | 87 | This whisky leaves a gentle feeling in the mouth, once the stinging from the alcohol dissipates. What stays in the mouth is a salty lemon feeling, tamed by a almondy cherries ; not sugary at all, but it hints at amarena cherries. Some apples are still there, in the background. The empty glass smells like strong apple cider. |
Good Mortlach, the refill oloroso is secondary as it should be. A hint of sulfur and almost a touch of mezcal but otherwise the depth and nominal meatiness familiar to Mortlach drinkers, Excellent value for money.

Only had one small dram from this bottle and love it. Reminds me of an old AD Ratray 16yr old bottling with a pleasent match end twang. Have only tasted it neat, so lots of the flavour and nose might be hidden in the peppery alcohol burn. My first rating so might have got a bit carried away and gone high....

| Вкус | 86 | Cognac soaked prunes, dried plums, toffee/butterscotch, a gentle hint of burnt sulphur and wood (this will be odd but the taste of a spent match ends!), juicy Sweetness that carries through to the finish |
| Финиш | 86 | Burns match ends, Murray mints, peppery, toffee/caramel |

I only had a small taste, which I sipped very carefully. This made it enjoyable without adding water. The sweet and fruity aromas were very pronounced. Despite the alcohol content, it developed a soft, honey-like quality. I would like to try it again with some water to allow it to fill the mouth a bit more.
