New Release: Mortlach Official Rare Old 43.4%

A visual with a strong presence, featuring a square bottle with silk-screen printing. Mortlach MORTLACH OB RARE OLD 43.4% A lavish and strong mouthfeel, with notes of Darjeeling tea, orange, vanilla, a gentle grainy character, oak, smooth mouthfeel upon drinking, green apple candy, vanilla, honey sweetness, grainy notes, a slight woody sensation and light tannins, with a slightly rich finish. [Good/Very Good] Recently released, this official Mortlach is a non-vintage bottle labeled as 'Rare Old.' Uncertain, but it seems there are other bottles with vintage markings in this 500ml square bottle with silk-screen printing. On the exchange site, it is described as 'The opening entry in the super-premium Mortlach range,' suggesting that this marks the beginning of a series release for the super-premium range. It is said to be aged in both bourbon and sherry casks. The aroma is very strong and expansive, with a clear sense of Darjeeling tea, orange, vanilla, and a gentle grainy character that is not too harsh for a non-vintage. Upon tasting, it gives the impression of a good bourbon cask whisky from recent years, with notes of green apple candy, vanilla, and honey-like sweetness. There was also a slight woody sensation, but overall it had a rich flavor.
