Mortlach Distillery Labels 15 Year Old, Sherry Cask, Gordon & MacPhail, 46%

Sherry-led fruit is balanced by fresh citrus and orange zest, while baking spice and charred oak give the character more weight. This sounds richer in fruit than the coastal notes I tend to prefer, but the contrast feels appealing.
