Product information
Tamed for 20 years for a whisky worthy of the Mortlach mark of distinction.
1973. Glenrinnes Lodge.
The daughter of the Mortlach mastermind makes a discovery. As her family home is renovated a wooden box is found. Within it, carefully packed in straw, are 12 bottles of whisky that have long been forgotten. They are her father Dr. Alexander Cowie’s private stock, a deliciously complex dram that dates back to 1909.
Cowie had no doubt bottled the best that his distillery had to offer and graced it with a seal of deep blue, the colour of great distinction, the colour that now adorns every single bottle of Mortlach.
This is a whisky to make Alexander Cowie proud. A reimagining of his Blue Seal, our very best Scotch, matured for a minimum of 20 years to tame ‘The Beast of Dufftown’ into smooth submission.

The Beast of Dufftown Mortlach’s big flavour without big smoke flavour profile is very different to other single malts from Speyside, leading Dave Broom to refer to it as ‘The Beast of Dufftown’.

Big flavour without big smoke
"Its character harks back to a time when whiskies were bigger, bolder, darker.
It is the earthy, meaty roots of Speyside. Its flavour is not what people expect from Speyside but it is a flavour which is gaining in popularity – and is rarely found.
At the foundation of many famous blends is this throwback to the old days, to days before Dufftown even existed.
It is the dark reduction of whisky to some primal essence.” Dave Broom, Whisky Writer
