With a style of its own, the Mortlach distillery has a singular history. Founded in 1823, it was one of the few houses allowed to produce alcohol during World War II and today, it is still renowned for its unique whiskies.
In a region known for its fruity, rounded style of whisky, Mortlach stands out from other Speyside single malts thanks to its intense, bold flavors, without the peat, thanks to triple distillation, which is more than any other Scotch.
