Gordon & MacPhail Distillery Labels Mortlach 1999 15 Year Old

Gordon & MacPhail Distillery Labels Mortlach 15 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a celebrated release from Gordon & MacPhail’s historic "Distillery Labels" range. This series honors long-standing relationships with iconic Scottish distilleries by featuring retro, historical bottle artwork. Distilled at the Mortlach Distillery in Dufftown—famous for its unique, complex $2.81\times$ distillation process—this 15-year-old expression was matured exclusively in sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, it showcases Mortlach's signature bold, meaty, and heavy spirit character intertwined with rich dark fruit, dark chocolate, stewed raisins, and warming winter spices.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with roasted venison, dry-aged ribeye steak, dark chocolate ganache, sticky toffee pudding, and aged Gouda.

Tasting Notes: A rich, full-bodied, and complex Speyside single malt delivering prominent notes of dark dried fruits, dark chocolate, savory malt, and polished sherry woodiness.

Nose: Aromatic stewed raisins, dark cherries, orange peel, beeswax, dark cocoa, and polished oak.

Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruitcake, leather, clove, honeyed malt, and subtle savory meatiness.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with notes of dark fruit syrup, cocoa powder, and dry oak spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass or with a few drops of spring water to open up its complex sherry and spirit layers.
