About Mortlach 26 Year 2019 Special Release<\/h2>\n

Situated in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland, Dufftown is known as 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. The distillery had two still-houses: “in one there are three old-fashioned stills\u2026 in the other there are three larger stills, installed in 1897.” The distillery also had “four gigantic malt floors, and the largest mash tun in the district.”<\/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 is still nicknamed “Wee Witchie” 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

The Mortlach 26 Year Old 2019 is a part of Diageo’s Special Releases that come with the tagline “Rare by Nature.” It’s a premium and heavily sherried single malt offering that was distilled in 1992 and has been matured in first-fill Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks then bottled at cask strength. Comes in a beautiful box with a golden depiction of the Highland stag and is limited t o 3,883 bottles.<\/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
