Update: Got me a bottle!

It's the second best scotch I've ever had, frankly. Nothing can top Mortlach 16, IMO.

What kind of notes is it hitting for you? Mortlach 16 you say? I'll have to try that.

It has a really warm flavor, sort of a vanilla or honey scotch. I think what is meant by "the long finish" that is referenced in the article is referring to is that after the initial flavor, you get a really spicy sensation that kind of stays on your tongue for a couple seconds. It's really unique (not that I'm an expert, but I've had enough to know a thing or two).

The Mortlach is incredible. It has the depth of flavor of a fine cognac. I don't even understand where the taste comes from, but it's remarkable.

This has me curious now. It might be a while before I can give these a try, but when I do I'll see how my impressions match up with yours.
