Mortlach Midnight Malt 30 year old, 49.1%

This is a dark, brooding glass of whisky with aromas of rum-drizzled pecans, oiled wood, leather boots, peppered rib-eye steaks, old library books, and fine spices. A complex palate of baked apple, golden syrup, leather, chocolate brownie, dried fig, roast beef, pepper, dark toffee, praline, and Brazil nut, with a long finish of mouth-coating dark ripe fruit, oak, and savory spices. A late night pleasure for rare occasions. (Annual release of 350 bottles)
