About Mortlach Distillery

Mortlach is presented as Dufftown’s first licensed distillery, famed for rich, bold and complex single malts crafted on seven uniquely configured stills and an intricate 2.81-time distillation process. The site traces its origins from an illicit still to a pioneering legal distillery, crediting the Cowie family—especially Alexander Cowie—for the distinctive production method and “Beast of Dufftown” character. It highlights Mortlach’s dense, meaty, savoury style, its role in Speyside whisky history, and its evolution into modern limited releases and collaborations, positioning the brand as a robust, characterful Scotch for serious whisky drinkers.
