Description

The Mortlach 20 Year Old Cowie's Blue Seal is an elegant and complex single malt from 'The Beast of Dufftown', known for its unique 2.81 distillation process. Matured primarily in sherry casks, it offers a rich and dark sherry character balanced with old, refined oaky notes. This expression is part of a core range revamp and pays tribute to the original 'Cowie's Blue Seal' from 1909.
