Mortlach - 12 years - 43.4%
The Mortlach Distillery is located in Dufftown, in the Speyside region of Scotland . It was founded in 1823 by James Findlater on the site of a former illicit distillery. It was Dufftown's only distillery until Glenfiddich was founded in 1887. Between 1823 and 1853 the distillery passed from owner to owner, at one point even becoming a brewery. In 1853 engineer George Cowie joined John Gordon as owner of the distillery. In 1923, John Walker and Sons purchased the distillery and much of its whiskey was used in their blends. Since 2014, the Distillery belongs to Diageo . The distillation process created by Alexander Cowie almost 200 years ago remains unchanged to this day. Known to all as "The Way", he alone knew why each of the six stills had a different shape and why the copper pipes intertwined in such a way as to cut and re-cut the brandy.
Mortlach 12 Year Old was aged in a combination of European and American oak barrels.
