Mortlach 2012 LMDW Plume 58%ABV 30ml

Plume means feather in French and  in previous centuries when people wrote with feathers it meant a pen. Plume whiskies are all sherry cask whiskies from Signatory's warehouses hand-selected for La Maison de Whisky in Paris. If something is a masterpiece people want to put their signature on it. The Plume range was conceived to showcase the best young sherry cask whiskies in existence. This range is very expensive for the age of the whisky and when the first bottles came out there was a lot of criticism, but now these whiskies are developing a cult following. Here is a 10 year old Mortlach finished in a first fill sherry butt, bottled at cask strength with natural colour. Here we have the Mortlach distillate - the beast of Dufftown which is a heavy meaty distillate vs a super active sherry cask. The ultimate sherry bomb -Rich and balanced. Pear, raisins, sticky date pudding, Christmas cake, burnt caramel, hints of nutmeg and ginger.
