Following last year’s announcement of the rebirth of Mortlach, Diageo have now revealed its new highly distinctive Mortlach bottles, along with distribution and pricing details for the UK.
In 1823 Mortlach was the first distillery to be built at Dufftown, and its most eminent owners were the entrepreneurial Scottish civil engineer George Cowie, equally ambitious son Dr Alexander Cowie. As a tribute to these distinguished pioneers, the design style of the new packaging is rooted in an engineered world. The engineering cues incorporated in the bottle design are most visible in the unique faceted base of the Rare Old & Special Strength bottles, whilst the metal structures of the 18 and 25 year-old bottles protect, enhance and display the fine single malts they contain. Georgie Bell, global brand ambassador for Mortlach, said, “Mortlach whiskies are a celebration of those audacious thinkers who shape and make today’s world, just as their forefathers did in the era in which Mortlach was born. These spectacular bottles help tell that story.”
Three new Mortlach variants will be available in the UK from June, and due to the very limited supplies of this unique liquid, each will be sold in 50cl bottles. Aimed at connoisseur Scotch whisky drinkers, Mortlach Rare Old is a complex and bold expression with an RRP of £55 while Mortlach 18 Year Old, characterised by meaty notes, malty sweetness and balancing acidity, has an RRP of £180.
