Mortlach
Mortlach x Starck L’Evolution Collection Begin & Beyond: 70cl Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 20cl Barley Spirit
This rare and magnetic duo is unlike any that has come before it. Begin is a taste of Mortlach at birth: the first drops of ‘new make’ that only a few have tasted before. The barley spirit’s robust and bold character offers compelling layers of sweetness and umami, with notes of pepper and pear, and a spicy finish. Beyond is Mortlach’s velvet fortitude. A complex, rich and meaty whisky awakened by a mixture of American and European Oak, and PX/Oloroso-seasoned European Oak casks. Beyond offers an emboldened Mortlach, a powerful beast that has been tamed.

Begin: Oily, with sweet hints of malty cereal that becomes spirituous and meatier. Beyond: Mellow, dry and savoury. The familiar meaty note becomes hints of dry sage, vanilla ice cream and raspberry.
