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.
