Mortlach Speyside Single malt Whisky.
The Private Collection Range is individually selected by the Directors for their unique character and quality, from their vasts stocks of rare and fine malt scotch whiskies.
Mortlach's main claim to fame is that it was the first of seven distillies to be built in and around Dufftown.
The distillery operates a unique distillation process which distills the spirit 21/2 times. This combined with the worm tubs used to condense the spirit, give the whisky the complexity for which it is renowned. This also makes the whisky suitable for longer ageing.
Unlike most distilleries in Scotland, Mortlach was given permission to remain in production during most of World War II. Gordon & MacPhail have stocks of the rare war years whisky.
