Mortlach 13 Year Old Single Malt - Special Release 2021

Distilled in 2007, this Mortlack 13 Year Old SIngle Malt is magnificently intense and well-structured with a character that rises to new heights inspired by virgin casks.

Every year since 2001, Diageo has unveiled its Special Releases – a limited-edition series of highly collectable and sought-after Scotch whiskies exploring the breadth and depth of their portfolio. What makes them so exciting is Diageo’s unparalleled ability to cherry-pick anything from a lost barrel produced at a ‘ghost’ distillery to an experimental expression from a world-renowned brand. These are one-of-a-kind bottlings that are not to be missed…
