Mortlach 16 Year Old - Flora & Fauna Scotch Whisky : The Whisky Exchange

A cracking malt from a great, but criminally underexposed distillery, Mortlach has a rich, complex, spicy sherried character and deserves far wider recognition. This looks set to change, with owner...

Yeah, I've got some really unusual bottles over the years from them, they are the only place I can get Linkwood occasionally and I've picked up some very hard to find rums, bourbons, gins for mrs d. Great site, no friend to your bank balance though!
The samples are quite a new thing across the range, great idea though. That Mortlach sounds very tidy.

Never drunk any of their really high end stuff but every Macallan I've tried has been top notch. I'd bag that mate.

I think I will mate when the store opens up post Covid closure. You only live once.

Anyone had the pleasure? I'm weighing it up...this one ( as I have never sampled The Macallan) or my favourite Oban Distillers Edition.
At 52.9% ABV, I may be enjoying the upcoming winter down here

Usually you can’t go wrong with any of The Macallan range, I’ve never tried their cask strength stuff though. I’ve bought cask strength 61%%- 63% at whisky auctions but in truth I’ve never enjoyed them at that strength , everybody is different of course .

Anyone had any of the Aldi whiskeys? I've bought the 8 year old to give a try..

If you want cheap, sorry, budget, look around for your basic Dewars White Label. No notes of this, hints of that and a slight pretentiousness at the back of the palette
Just a whiskey you can drink neat, with just an ice cube or 2:1 soda. for not much dosh.

If you must have something with a cork in it, depending where you live vis a vis price and such obvs try The SSingleton
They had it near me on special at au$52 / £28

Aberlour was the last place we went to before lockdown, lovely wee place , nice lunch , walk
along the Spey, a visit to an otherwise empty whisky shop, sadly Mrs Blueloon wasnt up for checking to see if the distillery was open .A decent whisky though, I’ve half a bottle left of a 12 year Double Cask Matured. Nice.

I've got a bottle of the Mortlach 12 year old. It's very good..

Just been to visit an old mate, he's now a rep for Wolfburn, got a bottle of this 'Sherry oak Aurora' at mates rates will try it at the weekend.

Everton merch came in...time to celebrate (excuses, excuses)

 

[The binman chronicles]

Is there anything worse than pouring a drink and realising that is another bottle finished? In the last week I have said goodbye to a Bunnahabhain 12, a Glenfiddich 12 and I have a Bushmills 10 and JW Green label all at critical levels. Heartbreaking stuff.

But! ...you get the joy of replacement shopping.

I'd been maintaining a strong relationship with a bottle of Balblair 1991 which ran dry last month. It was like a lover had left me.
