The Gaelic name Mortlach means a “bowl shaped valley,” and the distillery stands in a hollow in the hills just outside Dufftown. There was an earlier illicit still on the site before the distillery was licensed in 1823. It draws its water from the Conval Hills. In 1903 it was thoroughly renovated by the then owner George Cowie. The Cowie family sold out to the owners of Johnnie Walker whisky and Mortlach is still in the hands of successors United Distillers.
Rich gold in colour, well rounded aroma . Think Xmas pudding plenty sultanas and raisins. This is a first class after dinner malt.
You can find everything that makes a great Speyside malt in a bottle of Mortlach. It has a characteristic that has floweriness, peatiness, smokiness, maltiness and fruitiness. It is so complex due to the assortment of stills used. Since the very beginning of the legal distilling, people that have been successful in producing whisky have tried finding new ways to improve their stills. Changing the shape, size and design of the stills to achieve the result they desire. After a while the whisky became so good that no one wanted to risk changing it.

This whisky has a delicate floral complexity. The expression reveals rich aromas of apple pie. There are also hints of licorice, ginger bread and sugared almonds. Very smooth on the palate.

This is a full flavoured malt with a lot happening. Tinned fruit salad, pears and peaches. Some citrus. Perhaps butterscotch. For the finish a hint of caraway seed comes to mind.

The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water.
