It is a natural combination for Mortlach: the active sherry cask builds upon the whisky’s inherent richness, bringing darker fruit and warming spice while allowing the distillery’s substantial texture and savoury depth to remain at the heart of the dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eProduced at Mortlach Distillery, the spirit has long been associated with a particularly robust and characterful style. Here, 16 years of maturation have given that muscular character time to develop, while the Oloroso finish introduces another layer of indulgence without overwhelming the underlying whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe nose opens generously with vanilla buttercream and soft toffee cups, followed by the sharper fruitiness of redcurrant jelly. Cracked walnuts bring a drier, nuttier dimension before gingerbread and milk chocolate emerge, creating an inviting combination of sweetness, spice and richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the palate, the whisky is immediately mouth-coating. Cinnamon and ginger-spiced plums lead into balsamic strawberries, polished oak and a persistent oily texture. Orange oils provide brightness through the mid-palate, balanced by biscuit crumb and increasingly dry, dusty oak. The sherry influence feels deeply integrated, complementing Mortlach’s weight rather than simply adding sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finish is long and satisfying, with concentrated fruit oils and rich chocolate lingering alongside gently drying oak and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled at cask strength (54.6% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this is a whisky that retains all the texture and intensity of the original cask. With an outturn of just 268 bottles, it offers a compelling marriage of mature Mortlach and richly seasoned European oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA luxurious and full-bodied Mortlach, combining spiced fruit, chocolate and orange oils with the weight, texture and complexity that make the distillery so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gleann Mór","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495231627639,"sku":"GLM-MRT-16-573","price":109.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/gleann-mor-rare-find-mortlach-16-year-old-1.png?v=1790494050","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/gleann-mor-rare-find-mortlach-16-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
