help Mortlach 16 Year Old FAQ
Why is Mortlach 16 called The Distiller's Dram?
Mortlach 16 Year Old is branded as The Distiller's Dram in Diageo's core Mortlach range. It highlights Mortlach's meaty, rich Speyside style and is bottled at 43.4% ABV.
What does Mortlach's 2.81 distillation mean for the 16 Year Old?
Mortlach is known for an unusual partial triple-distillation setup often described as 2.81 times distillation. In the 16 Year Old, that helps support a dense, weighty spirit rather than a light floral Speyside profile.
Is Mortlach 16 heavily sherried?
Mortlach 16 is strongly associated with sherry-seasoned cask influence, giving dried fruit, spice, and dark chocolate notes. It is richer than many entry-level Speyside malts such as Glenfiddich 12 or Glenlivet 12.
Where is Mortlach made?
Mortlach is made in Dufftown, in Scotland's Speyside region. The distillery was founded in 1823 and is often nicknamed the Beast of Dufftown because of its robust style.
