A somewhat youngish Mortlach out of PX sherry casks. Pungent nose with hints of cream & butter tarts. Evolves over time. On the palate, this single malt is immediately dry with notes of burnt caramel, raisins, walnuts, prunes and a bit of praline. Long & smooth finish of dark chocolate. Delicate, but dry.
A family-owned independent bottler with a long history in Perth, Morrison & Mackay – however, its history actually begins off the coast of west Scotland, as it was originally founded as John Murray & Co. by the Bartholomew family on the Isle of Mull in 1982, producing whiskey liqueurs. In 1996 the Scottish Liqueur Centre was established as a production facility, visitor centre and shop in Perth.
