Mortlach single malt whisky is not exactly new. In 2016, Diageo had already launched the first ever official range of Mortlach single malt whiskies after years of it being one of the conglomerate’s best kept secrets.

Now, I have to admit that I was not really that impressed with that initial Mortlach range that was released two years ago, which consisted of Mortlach Rare Old, Mortlach 18 Year Old, and Mortlach 25 Year Old.
