Another excellent video, Ben. I think the idea of placing the distillery in a geographical context and showing some scenes of Dufftown is an innovative way to get started. Bringing in the drone footage is always a hit. But you might have thought of sending it up and letting it fly the short distance from the heart of the town to the distillery. That would've been interesting. Inside the distillery you had some good shots and clear explanations of the stages of production. But then we get to the 2.81 distillation method. I remember reading detailed descriptions of this years ago, and pouring over the details several times over. It's complicated! Probably needs a flow chart to explain it clearly - and that would just hold the video up unnecessarily. It's also interesting to hear, during the tasting, that Diageo do their blending work for the Mortlach range elsewhere, where they have all the facilities they need to do such detailed work. And that the chief blender's recommendations then flow back to the distillery and influence the wood policy regarding the number of casks to be filled in ex-bourbon, and in American and European ex-Sherry casks. That's the way things work in such a large conglomerate as Diageo. It would have been revealing if they'd mentioned how much Mortlach is required for the Johnnie Walker range, and how much of the production is left over for the single malts. But again, I imagine Diageo probably doesn't want to get that specific about such details. To finish off, I can recommend a whisky walking tour that begins in Dufftown and passes by 7 distilleries (including a mothballed one). It's lots of fun. Cheers!
Again....another excellent review of a distillery and its processes and exciting new line of whisky. I ran across this one and would like to see a review of it when you get a chance....Slainte! MORTLACH GENERATIONS 75 YEARS OLD
Fantastic video! Very well produced, really enjoyed the interview at the end. Please keep doing these
For the first time in my life i had Mortlach 16 years old... holy crap thats an amazing glass. I will make it my mission to make a pilgrimage to the distillery with the missus in 2021
Mortlach sounds like a monster income lake. Love it. Really looking forward to have, bought a few bottles. Gr8 vid!
Having had the 57.2% Gordon & Macphail Singe Cask ... I can assure you 43.4% is not he best Mortlach comes out at.
Well done, Ben. I tried the Mortlach 20 at the duty free in Heathrow a few months ago and it was amazing.
Great grandpa Phinn grew up in Mortlach in c.19th century. Would like to try some of this.
These are fantastic videos, I love em. I do want to point out though, that at least in Oregon, we also call them Douglas Fir. We have so many species of pine tree here that calling it Oregon Pine would mean no one would know what kind of tree you were talking about. Although, I suppose Oregon Pine could be a term used in the woodworking industry.
Leaving covid bullshit , to Cowie s greatness ! Thanks !
"It's got pretty good colour..." LOL, I wonder how that came about...🤔😁
47yo Mortlach :o
just pump it up to 46% and unchillfilter it.... until then you kinda have to stick with independent bottlers
That's Diageo for you.
Not a huge fan of the rep for Mortlach. Seemed fairly uneducated given his years in the industry.
