Mortlach is one of the greatest Speyside whiskies in Diageo’s portfolio. The distillery’s robust, gutsy, earthy, beefy new make is a result of running the stills fast and using worm tub condensers, which minimises copper contact and gives a powerfully flavoured, deliberately sulphury new make that is frequently matured in sherry casks.
Following the discontinuation of the much-loved Mortlach 16-year-old Flora & Fauna, the first official Mortlach core range was introduced in 2014 but flopped disastrously due to comically high pricing; the subsequent relaunch in 2018, with a return to reality-based pricetags, has been much more successful. Gordon & MacPhail were previous licensed bottlers of Mortlach and have bottled the greatest examples from the distillery, including the famous Book of Kells editions and the extraordinary Generations bottlings, which included the first 70 and 75-year-old single malt whiskies ever bottled.

Douglas Hamilton Company is a trading name used by the independent whisky bottlers Douglas Laing for their Clan Denny subsidiary brand. The Douglas Hamilton Company was created in 2013 after Fred Laing Jr and his brother Stewart Laing divided the assets of the Douglas Laing company founded by their father in the 1940s and went their separate ways.
Prior to this asset split, the Clan Denny brand single malt and grain whiskies had been bottled under the trading name Hunter Hamilton, but as Stewart Laing’s new company was called Hunter Laing a new parent name was needed for the Clan Denny whiskies, which had been retained by Douglas Laing. Several dozen Clan Denny whiskies were bottled under the Douglas Hamilton name from 2013 onwards, but at the time of writing in 2023, Clan Denny and Douglas Hamilton have been dormant since 2017.
