Product Information

Mortlach is one of our most sought-after super-premium single malts, and seemed fitting as the perfect finale to complete the collection.”

A lot has been written about this series. It was supposed to be limited but then re-issued, heavily discounted and even then it’s still rather widely available. It was supposed to be collectible as well, but as long as shops don’t manage to sell their allocation then no price increase is to be expected. Some say it was just a hype, merchandising with no real quality (with a few exceptions). Etcetera, etcetera. Now that the dust has settled, let’s find out… According to Diageo, Cowie and his son Alexander were “integral influences” for both the distillery and community. Alexander developed Mortlach’s signature method of distilling the liquid 2.81 times – a process said to be as unique as the show’s Three-Eyed Raven character. Taste: The arrival is a little thinner than I’d have hoped for – but, interestingly some waxy textual elements develop once properly in the mouth. Tinned fruit – peaches and apricots alongside mango juice, tobacco leaves, and gingerbread. Chocolate and dusty cinnamon and ginger spices emerge in the mid-palate, whilst creamy toffee and floral oiliness are joined by raisins and sultanas. Dilution once again takes things in a malty direction – chocolate covered digestives, Rich Tea biscuits and French crepes with flan and tart cases. Mortlach 1959 & 1960 GM Special Vatting to commemorate marriage of Prince Andrew to Miss Sarah FergusonSix Kingdoms (46% ABV) is inspired by the finale of the show and pays tribute to the fate of fictional continent Westeros, when the fictitious realm’s Seven Kingdoms became six after the North became independent under queen Sansa Stark. No need to introduce the Game of Thrones whisky series, which initially featured eight Dieageo single malts in a partnership with HBO. Then in late 2019 a ninth and final release was announced: Mortlach 15 Year Old ‘Six Kingdoms’.

Whiskybase B.V.

Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Finish: Medium length. A bit of barrel char / charcoal appears, and while the meaty/coppery flavor persists, a lot of the fruit has dropped out. Fades without much evolution, aside from a ghost of menthol on the very tail end. Diageo is preparing the final chapter in their partnership with Game of Thrones. As we’ve mentioned before, in addition to the special editions from Johnnie Walker, they embarked on a series of nine special edition Single Malts from their brand portfolio. Game of Thrones Mortlach 15 Year-Old — named “Six Kingdoms” — is the ninth and final release in the line. Turning the traditional model of Single Malt aging on its head, the Six Kingdoms release was aged in first-fill Sherry casks and finished in ex-Bourbon barrels. This lets the fruit and fig notes push the fore at a spot-on perfect 46% ABV.You are responsible for all activities through your account.

There’s always been a fondness in whisky circles for Mortlach – by and large, independent bottlers have been the only real place to sate that need since the retirement of the much loved Flora & Fauna 16 year old. This affection is often attributed to Mortlach’s naturally heavy body, that provides both solid base-flavours and texture as well as an ideal spirit for sherry cask maturation. This inherent ‘weight’ is a product of the distillery’s unusual and complex distillation regime which involves utilising two sets of wash and spirit stills out of tandem (splitting the run unequally after the first distillations), whilst still operating a third pair of stills as one would normally expect. The resultant spirit ends up being distilled 2.81 times. Other aspects of Mortlach’s production setup – restricting the airflow into the still to prevent the copper from removing heavy compounds, and the use of worm tubs at the terminus of every lyne arm – result in a spirit character that is often described as ‘meaty’. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Diageo is set to launch the final bottling in its limited edition Game of Thrones Single Malt Collection, a 15-year-old Mortlach whisky. “Mortlach is one of our most sought-after super-premium single malts”, according to Diageo
