The Beast of Dufftown, known for its big and meaty flavours, Mortlach is going to release a 50 Year Old expression distilled all the way back in 1971.

What was happening then? Well, Led Zeppelin played its hit song Stairway to Heaven live for the first time, the NASDAQ stock market is established in New York, Britain decides to stop using the shilling, Mariah Carey was born, and George Harrison gets a driving ban.

But also Mortlach fills single cask number 2893 - well, someone's gotta be doing work right?

All we know at the moment is that this half a century old expression is bottled at 46.3% ABV.

Kanpai!
