Mortlach 1992-2009 - 16 Year Old - Douglas Of Drumlanrig - Single Cask 5045
Mortlach 1992 - 2009. 16 Year Old. Bottled by Douglas Of Drumlanrig. Cask number 5045. One of 362 bottles matured in a Sherry Butt. 700ml. 46%.
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 of Drumlanrig was a collaborative line of independent bottlings of single malt whisky released by indie bottlers Douglas Laing and the Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry. The whiskies were bottled with labels featuring a portrait of the Duke’s ancestral home, Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire. Some magnificent casks appeared under this label, including long-aged cask strength drams from Ardbeg, Macallan and Port Ellen.
Douglas of Drumlanrig bottlings were released under Douglas Laing’s Langside Distillers subsidiary and the range was successful, with over 400 bottlings released since 2000. Langside Distillers was assigned to Hunter Laing during the 2013 split with Douglas Laing, but the Douglas of Drumlanrig brand was stymied soon afterwards by a trademark lawsuit. Hunter Laing won the case, but the Douglas of Drumlanrig brand has remained dormant since 2016.
