History
Mortlach was founded in 1823 by James Findlater, Donald Mackintosh and Alex Gordon. The distillery passed between hands a few times, but it was in the 1850s that it found its position as a pre-eminent blending malt, and the unique distillation methods became its signature style. How this style was found, noone knows. What we do know is that this classic style of making malt whisky gives Mortlach a very robust, meaty character, and one that you can tell apart from any other whisky on the market.
