About Mortlach 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky<\/h2>\n

Situated in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland, Dufftown is known the Whisky Capital of the World. The village, which produces more malt whisky than any other town in Scotland, is home to seven distilleries, the oldest of which is Mortlach Distillery.<\/p>\n

Mortlach Distillery was founded in 1823 by James Findlater, together with his friends Alexander Gordon and James Macintosh. In 1831, however, Findlater sold the distillery to John Robertson for the paltry sum of \u20a4270. In 1837, it was sold again to John and James Grant, who dismantled the distilling equipment and shuttered the doors to the distillery. For the next two decades, the building was used first as a brewery, and then, rather curiously, a church. In 1851, however, the distillery began producing whisky once more. Even at the time, it was an impressive distillery, according to the Wine & Spirits Trade Record<\/em>. The distillery had two still-houses: “in one there are three old-fashioned stills\u2026in the other there are three larger stills, installed in 1897.\u201d The distillery also had \u201cfour gigantic malt floors, and the largest mash tun in the district.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1964, the distillery was largely rebuilt and today, houses a unique configuration of six stills. The stills \u2014 three wash stills and three spirit stills \u2014 are each different shapes and sizes (one still is nicknamed \u201cWee Witchie\u201d because it is shaped like a witch\u2019s cap), and aren\u2019t paired together. This unusual configuration, together with the partial triple distillation method used at Mortlach Distillery, produces a whisky that is full-bodied and meaty.<\/p>\n

Mortlach 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is part of the newest range of Mortlach single malts. Presented in a bottle designed by Laurent Hainaut, the whisky has a golden amber color and vibrant citrus notes on the nose, especially green apple and dried mango. The palate opens with a tad more sweetness, including gingerbread and orange peel, before developing into a thick, silky combina tion of dark chocolate and almonds. The whisky finishes with a dry, earthy spice, conjuring wood and even some tobacco leaves.<\/p>\n

About Scotch<\/h2>\n

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.<\/p>\n
