Prima & Ultima Mortlach 25 year old 1995, 52.4%

Price: 32450 Issue: Winter 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch


This PX-oloroso seasoned European oak butt was marked out as a lone wolf cask for its complexity and richness. The shifting sands of the spice aromas invoke wonderful fragrant flavors rather than overt spiciness, and there's still some meaty muscle behind the orchard fruit, baked peach, dried papaya, and cranberry. The palate shows baked cookies, apple pie, plum, red currant tartness, malt, carob beans, and drying wood; Mortlach in its prime. Sold in a set of 8 bottles. (454 bottles)
