The Whisky Fair, there were at the booth of SCOMA a 20cl bottle of 70 year old Mortlach admired: the tear-shaped flacon it has already allowed an unconventional design for a whiskey, but when you 70 years old, this is perhaps .
It is currently the oldest single malt whiskey that was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail:
he was on 15 October 1938 in a sherry hogshead and, after 70 years, after all, still a respectable yield of 54 x 162 x 70cl and 20cl 46.1% vol. (Ie 70.2 l after the loss of the filling - and tried before it was determined in all these years - so I would have liked to do ;-))
I could try the Mortlach unfortunately, since my £ 2,500 for the small bottle but were a little too high. The 70cl bottle would have to lie down for at least £ 10,000 - compared to other much newer bottlings, such as the 50 year old Macallan Glenfiddich or is it but still a bargain.
will enjoy So I prefer my current Mortlach bottled 1990 at age 19 and still waiting for the jackpot ...
