Mortlach 'Gordon & MacPhail' 1961/58YO Single Malt 700ml - Private Collection Japanese Sweetish and minty smell overallMortlach 'Gordon & MacPhail' 1961 58YO Speyside Single Malt 700ml Selected by Scotland's acclaimed independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail, this Mortlach was filled in 1961 from a single ex sherry cask that yielded just 137 bottles after 58 years of maturation. Founded in 1823 and the first distillery to be built in Dufftown, it is regarded by many as the most complex and meaty spirit in all of Speyside, best suited to long maturation. Stephen Rankin
