- Nose
- Mortlach? Silky sweet with raisin, malt extract, hard treacle toffee and prunes in syrup. With water a burnt, nutty, roasted character. Rich.
- Palate
- Blackstrap molasses and roasted meat. Manages to be sweet and grumbling at the same time.
- Finish
- Long, slightly dry and tannic but there's enough richness to balance.
- Comment
- Yup, it's Mortlach alright. Every bit as good as the OB.
82
- Nose
- A gruff Christmassy nose with an enticing mix of fruit and spice. Fig rolls, a clove-studded orange, stewed plums and cloudy apple juice. Treacle toffee. With time a more meaty, herbaceous character barges in.
- Palate
- Sulphury with marmalade on brown toast.
- Finish
- The mouth-piece of a snorkelling mask.
- Comment
- An afterdinner tongue-lasher.
