It is said Rome was built on seven hills, and Dufftown built on seven stills. Mortlach “The Beast of Dufftown” is now one of five distilleries in Dufftown. It has the boldest flavour profile, and this example doesn’t disappoint. There are plenty of fruitcake and chocolate aromas and the texture on the palate is dense and juicy. Figs and orange marmalade make up most of the fruity notes and the whisky finishes with burnt flavours as from a roasting tray.
