The Mortlach 1972 - 23 Year Old is part of the Rare Malts Selection series released by Diageo between 1995 and 2005, containing single malt whiskies from both active and defunct distilleries. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in the mid-1990s, this particular expression was bottled at a cask strength of 59.4% ABV. It was specifically produced for the South African market and is referred to as the B297 version.
The Rare Malts Selection series was aimed at showcasing lesser-known whiskies at natural cask strength. Since the series has been discontinued, the bottles, including this Mortlach expression, are considered collectible. The B297 code on this bottle confirms its South African designation.
Distilled at Mortlach in 1972 and matured for 23 years, this single malt was bottled without dilution. Each bottle in the series bears an individual number, verifying its authenticity.
This Mortlach 1972 - 23 Year Old serves as a representation of the Rare Malts Selection's commitment to quality and exclusivity. Its connection to the South African market and cask-strength bottling highlights its place among distinctive whiskies, appealing to collectors and investors.
