Tasting Notes

Colour

orangey gold

air Nose

starts with leather, bitter oranges, and Mortlach’s trademark meatiness – but that would rather be ham. After that, rather youngish notes of plum eau-de-vie and flint, coffee, as well as yeasty touches that suggest youth. A little earth as well, beer… I find it rather different

restaurant Palate

I like it a little better on the palate. Leather again, chestnuts, orange zests, something slightly sour (lemon juice?), and a little mead and mustard. Then a little metal, some bacon, and a little leaven. It’s a little rough, but that may be an asset

timer Finish

medium, with some kind of sour honey, more leather, and certainly more malt. A metallic/salty touch in the aftertaste, as well as Seville oranges, pepper, and caramel
