A more traditional take on Mortlach than the other releases in the range, focusing on European oak and sherry casks. A vatting of whisky matured in fairly active first-fill sherry casks and refill casks, it gives the big, meaty Mortlach character that fans of the distillery love.

This is the 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside Distillery, Mortlach, released in 2014 as part of an exclusive new range. Matured in a combination of Sherry and refill American oak casks, this expression is rich and well rounded. It is presented in a very striking bottle, which was designed to reflect Victorian engineering designs in a tribute to one of the key figures in Mortlach's history, George Cowie, a civil engineer.
