Cuvée presentation

A Mortlach single cask distilled in 1990, matured in a sherry cask and bottled in 2008 by Wemyss Malts. Wemyss Malts was founded in 2005 by William and Isabella Wemyss, descendants of the Wemyss clan from Fife, where the Haig distillery was built in 1840. Isabella selects the malts and William draws on his experience as a blender to create blended malts with the help of experts like Charles Maclean. Every expression has a well-defined identity reflected in names like The Hive, Spice King and Peat Chimney. Today, the business also bottles single malts with lyrical single malts similar to those of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. The business is also involved in the Kingsbarn distillery in Fife. A limited edition of 576 bottles.

The distillery Mortlach

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: DiageoJoining the John Walker & Sons team (Distillers Company Ltd) in 1925, Mortlach boasts a unique past in the history of Scotch whisky. Over some 20 years up until 1885, it was here that William Grant earned his stripes and learnt how to run a distillery before embarking on what would be a true story of success, the creation of the company William Grant & Sons, owner of Glenfiddich. Mortlach was also one of very few distilleries to be allowed to continue distilling during WWII (except in 1944). Finally, its aromatic profile is characterized by a special distillation method that almost verges on triple distillation. Whilst not large in number, several special bottlings of Mortlach are available aged 10 to 12 years old and presented in bottles and jugs. From the 1990s, it followed in the footsteps of all other United Distillers & Vintners distilleries and presented various versions in The Rare Malts Selection, Flora & Fauna and Manager's Dram ranges.
