Product Info
This Motlach is matured in small batches for a rich distillery character, then meticulously finished in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso seasoned casks, further deepening its aromatic and flavorful layers. This multi-layered result, with its smoothness, sweetness, and nuttiness, reflects the inherent complexity of Motlach's unique 2.81 distillation process. Dubbed the Beast of Dufftown for its intense, meaty character, Motlach is perhaps Scotch's best-kept secret. Bold flavors are the hallmark of this exceptional varietal, proving its claim to the crown of the valley as unmistakably as a full-grown red deer. The nose runs deep, swirling with notes of dark dried fruit and nutty, meaty notes. The texture is incredibly smooth, and the intense palate opens with rich fruit and cured ham sweetness, leading to a persistent spiciness and dryness. The long, impressive finish truly highlights this harmony of sweetness and spice, leaving the palate clean and lingering with a glorious finish. This rare release is limited to just 7,692 bottles worldwide.
