The first legal still in Dufftown, lit in 1823, Mortlach is known simply as the Beast, a dark, meaty, muscular whisky conjured by a fiendish part-triple distillation its makers call 2.81 times and by old worm tubs that will not give up their sulphur. Not a beauty; a force. Diageo's.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 76.403 means cask 403 from distillery 76. That distillery is Mortlach, in Speyside. More on Mortlach at Wikipedia.
