Jeg har erhvervet mig en Mortlach fra 1990, der er aftappet i 2002 fra Murray MacDavid.
Jeg har ikke kunnet finde så meget om denne whisky. Den kommer også med en misvisende oplysning. På etiketten står der: Aged in oak casks for 12 years. Men i data feldtet hvor alt om whiskyen ellers står, står der: Cask type - Fresh sherry.
Da den ikke er kold filtreret og ikke tilsat farve, så vil jeg tro med den kullør den har at det er sherry fade den har lageret på. Dette passer også med hvad de skriver på deres side: www.murray-mcdavid.com/mortlach90.htm

Men er der nogen der ved noget mere om denne malt? Egne erfaringer?

Iflg. The Scotch Whisky Act 1988 er "Scotch Whisky'' defineret ved

(a)
which has been produced at a distillery in Scotland from water and malted barley (to which only whole grains of other cereals may be added) all of which have been
(i) processed at that distillery into a mash;
(ii) converted to a fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme systems; and
(iii) fermented only by the addition of yeast;
(b)
which has been distilled at an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 94.8 per cent so that the distillate has an aroma and taste derived from the raw materials used in, and the method of, its production;
(c)
which has been matured in an excise warehouse in Scotland in oak casks of a capacity not exceeding 700 litres, the period of that maturation being not less than 3 years;
(d)
which retains the colour. aroma and taste derived from the raw materials used in, and the method of, its production and maturation; and
(e)
to which no substance other than water and spirit caramel has been added. The Scotch Whisky Act 1988 prohibits inter alia the production in Scotland of whisky other than Scotch Whisky.
The Scotch Whisky Act 1988 and European Community (EC) legislation both specify a minimum alcoholic strength of 40 per cent by volume, which applies to all Scotch Whisky bottled and/or put up for sale within or exported from the Community.
