Description: Founded in 1823 in the heart of the Speyside region, Mortlach is located in the famous whisky town of Dufftown. It has been owned since 1923 by what is now Diageo (originally part of the Johnnie Walker empire). In fact, most of the make is still kept for the Johnnie Walker brands, especially Black Label. It operates an unusual 2 ½ distillation method and the make is typically heavy and oily, ideally suited to maturation in ex-Sherry casks.
