Mortlach Special Release 2023

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 58%

From the Diageo Special Releases 2023 comes this Mortlach expression, ‘The Katana’s Edge’, a Speyside Scotch finished in Kanosuke Japanese whisky and Pinot Noir casks. It was bottled at 58% ABV and its intriguing cask profile is matched by its blend of sweet and savoury flavours.

Tasting Note

Nose

There’s a very elegant tropical style fruitiness that adds contrast to the cured meat, clove, red chilli earthiness, and black pepper present.

Palate

Pear drops, toffee pudding, orange peel, marzipan, and plenty of soy sauce-style umami flavours.

Finish

Rich and full-bodied, with honey and pepper.
