Mortlach 1938 Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 75cl 40%

Description

Mortlach 1938 Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky (75cl, 40%)

A timeworn treasure from the heart of Dufftown, the Mortlach 1938 by Gordon & MacPhail is one of the rarest and most historically significant whiskies ever released. Distilled just before WWII and aged for decades before its bottling, this extraordinary expression encapsulates a lost era of Scotch whisky making.

Matured in a carefully selected first-fill sherry cask, the result is a deeply complex and elegant dram. The nose is rich with dried fruits, antique oak, leather-bound books, and spiced marmalade, while the palate delivers dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, fig, polished wood, and aged balsamic. The finish is endlessly long, whispering of the decades it spent undisturbed in Gordon & MacPhail’s legendary Elgin warehouses.

At 40% ABV and bottled in a stunning 75cl format, this release isn’t just whisky — it’s a living artefact. Only a handful of bottles exist, making it one of the most desirable collector’s items in the world of single malt.
