Mortlach 100 Proof Bottled 1970s Gordon & MacPhail Whisky Miniature - 57% 5cl

A miniature bottle of Mortlach 100° Proof Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail.  

Mortlach was founded in 1823 and was the first of Dufftown's "Seven Stills" to be licensed. It rose to pre-eminence under George Cowie & Son, who's unique distillation regime produced a famously "meaty" whisky, which was highly prized by blenders.

It was for this reason that it was acquired by John Walker & Sons, and so important to them was it that little stock was left available for bottling as a single malt.

Gordon & MacPhail were granted a license by DCL to officially bottle Mortlach single malt in the 1970s and 1980s.

This long-standing relationship with the distillery has since furnished the Elgin-based independent firm with a steady supply of high-quality casks, and subsequently, high-quality releases.

Please note, there is no size stated on the label but this appears to be a 5cl bottle.

We estimate this was bottled in the 1970s.

Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).
