About Mortlach

Mortlach is a whisky distillery. Mortlach 1987 29 Year Old Cadenhead’s Cask Ends is an age-stated bottling at 29 years old, distilled in 1987.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1987), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Considerable age

    A 29-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as caskends, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

  • Independent bottling

    An independent bottling by cadenhead, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
