The distillery remained in the hands of the Cowie family until 1923, when it became part of John Walker & Sons and was later incorporated into DCL, now Diageo.Mortlach is known for its unique distillation process in which the whiskey is distilled 2 .81 times, which creates a heavier distillate with a rich meaty character. While other fleshy spirits (such as Benrinnes and Dailuaine) have similar characteristics, none of them match the robustness of Mortlach, which, to this day, makes it a highly prized base for blended whiskey (Johnnie Walker). As a result, there was little stock available for single malt whiskey and apart from occasional independent bottlings and small batches of 16-year-old whiskey in Diageo's Flora & Fauna range, it did not make much of an appearance. | Bottle | Mortlach 1988 is a single malt whisky distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2007 as part of the Mission Gold series by independent bottler Murray McDavid. This 18-year-old whisky was matured solely in bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration or added coloring, preserving its authentic character.Nose: A combination of vanilla and ripe fruit, such as apple and honeydew melon, with a light touch of oak and floral notes.Taste: Sweet with flavors of fruit jam, complemented by notes of spice and a malty character. A subtle influence of salt lingers on the palate, gradually developing.Finish: Medium-long and balanced, with a malty character and a gentle hint of saltiness that adds depth.The auctioned bottle is no. 773 of 1200 and is a sought-after collector's item within the Mission Gold range for its distinctive Mortlach profile.

It opened in 1897 and was designed by the famous local architect Charles Doig, who is known as the inventor of the iconic pagoda, a characteristic feature of Scotch distilleries. This pagoda was used to ventilate the malting kilns that were essential to whiskey production. Doig also introduced the first pneumatic malthouses in the Highlands, making whiskey production more efficient and reducing reliance on traditional malting floors. These malthouses were in operation until 1968.The distillate has a characteristic sulphurousness, which is the result of the use of traditional "worm tubs" (coolers). These coolers create an environment where heavier, sulphurous notes naturally develop in the distillate. However, during barrel aging, these sulphurous elements gradually mellow and transform, revealing the softer, more aromatic profile that is characteristic of Speyburn.In recent years, Speyburn has made a significant presence in the American market, where it is promoted as affordable single malt whisky. Although the lower price brought significant sales growth to the brand, its reputation suffered in part.

Its history dates back to 1798, although the circumstances surrounding its creation are shrouded in myth. The foundation is attributed to either the well-known smuggler and priest Magnus Eunson or the farmer David Robertson. The exact details are disputed, but the distillery's official gate bears the year 1798 as the beginning of its history.The distillery did not gain its real stability and development until the second half of the 19th century, when it was first owned by William Stuart (proprietor of Miltonduff), and then James Grant, former manager of the Glenlivet Distillery. Under their leadership, the distillery was expanded and became an important part of the Scotch whiskey industry.In 1937, Highland Park became part of Highland Distillers, which is now part of the Edrington Group (which also includes The Macallan in its portfolio). Highland Park whiskey first appeared on the market as a single malt in the 1970s in an 8-year-old version, but in the 1980s the packaging underwent a redesign (and then several other modifications) when 12-year and 18-year versions were introduced.

It was founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid and is now owned by the Edrington Group.Although Macallan is now synonymous with the growth of single malt whiskies, it has long been an important part of blended whiskies. It wasn't until the 1980s that, due to the decline in demand for blended whisky, it began to focus more on single malt whisky.A team led by Allan Shiach, Frank Newlands, Hugh Mitcalf and Willie Phillips launched a campaign that put The Macallan in premium whiskey position, nicknamed "Cognac whisky". The Macallan thus attracted not only whiskey lovers, but also the wider public thanks to unusual advertising campaigns, which were often bohemian and imaginatively provocative. Another breakthrough came with the launch of the "Fine & Rare" range and the collaboration with Lalique, who created special decanters for rare editions such as 50 and 60 year old whiskies.

Under their leadership, the distillery was expanded and became an important part of the Scotch whiskey industry.In 1937, Highland Park became part of Highland Distillers, which is now part of the Edrington Group (which also includes The Macallan in its portfolio). Highland Park whiskey first appeared on the market as a single malt in the 1970s in an 8-year-old version, but in the 1980s the packaging underwent a redesign (and then several other modifications) when 12-year and 18-year versions were introduced.
