Mortlach Distillery

Mortlach Distillery is located in Dufftown, in the famous Speyside region of Scotland, an area known for its rich whisky tradition. Founded in 1823, Mortlach was the first legal distillery in Dufftown and has since built a reputation for producing powerful and complex whiskies.

A unique feature of Mortlach is its use of a complicated distillation process often referred to as 2.81 times distillation. This process, in which different parts of the spirit are re-distilled in different combinations, gives Mortlach whisky its distinctive robust and full flavour profile. The distillery uses six copper pot stills and draws its water from the nearby Dulla Burn.

Mortlach whiskies are known for their rich and intense flavours, with notes of dark fruit, chocolate and a hint of spiciness. The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, which contributes to the complex aromas. These unique production methods and focus on quality have earned Mortlach a special place in the hearts of whisky connoisseurs worldwide.
