This vintage 1998 17 year old Mortlach Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from a hogshead and the finish in an Oloroso sherry butt selected by Kirsch Whisky personally at Signatory Vintage with the cask no. 4 and was bottled as part of the now well-known Single Cask Seasons edition for the summer of 2015 without the addition of colourants and chill filtration at cask strength 47.4% vol. in an edition of 814 bottles.
After distillation, the distillate spent over 12 years slowly maturing in selected hogsheads and then received a finish in an Oloroso sherry butt for a further 55 months before it was finally bottled. The result is a great vintage 1998 17 years Mortlach Speyside single malt with a dark copper colour, the aromas are intense and well balanced with notes of wood, sherry, orange, aniseed, caramel and liquorice. On the palate, it is sweet and fruity with pleasant sherry flavours in combination with vanilla, chocolate, nuts and spices. The finish is long and fruity.
