The First Editions Mortlach 2009 after a Month and a Week

I actually like this whisky now... It's amazing what a few weeks of oxidation can do!

Glad this one is getting good. Independent cask strength bottles that are from refill bourbon hogsheads tend to be all about spirit character. When opening these kinds of bottles I often use a clean empty bottle to split it into two half full bottles and leave them for at least two weeks to open up. Having drams during that time to see how things are going. Usually two weeks is enough time but every once in a while it needs a month. As Mortlach is celebrated for it's spirit character it sounds great. Cheers

Sometimres, like with this bottle, I give it a try after a month or so... Then I ignore it for two or three more months and usually have a very pleasant surprise the next time I pour a dram. Either way, we get to the same conclusion.

for some reason this reminded me of the ledaig bourbeuax wine cask 9 year old. Is that still your most treasured experience in whisky?

UMAMI notes ! . . . Mortlach can be really good from Independent Bottles, but Diageo stuff can be hit + miss at clown-y prices

Very true...
