A rich and sherried expression from Mortlach that's will always be compared to the fan-favourite 16-year-old Flora & Fauna bottling. This is more balanced than that discontinued dram, with a mix of first-fill and refill sherry casks giving a wider range of sherry-cask character, from rich and dark dried fruit to plump and juicy berries.
Nose: Gingersnaps and orange peel, along with hints of roast chestnut, apple, blackcurrant pie, and quince.
Palate: The oak is mature from the outset, accompanied by prune, clove, macadamia nut, and a touch of baked earth.
Finish: Lingering oily walnut and chewy raisin notes, with more ginger appearing later on.
