Tamed for 20 years for a whisky worthy of the Mortlach mark of distinction. 1973. Glenrinnes Lodge. The daughter of the Mortlach mastermind makes a discovery. As her family home is renovated a wooden box is found. Within it, carefully packed in straw, are 12 bottles of whisky that have long been forgotten. They are her father Dr. Alexander Cowie’s private stock, a deliciously complex dram that dates back to 1909. Cowie had no doubt bottled the best that his distillery had to offer and graced it with a seal of deep blue, the colour of great distinction, the colour that now adorns every single bottle of Mortlach. This is a whisky to make Alexander Cowie proud. A reimagining of his Blue Seal, our very best Scotch, matured for a minimum of 20 years to tame ‘The Beast of Dufftown’ into smooth submission.
