In 1823, in Dufftown, in Speyside, Scotland, James Findlater and his two partners, Donald McIntosh and Alexander Gordon, founded the whisky distillery Mortlach. Muhe was the first whisky distillery in Duff to obtain a legal distillation license, and was the only legal whisky distillery in Duff at the time, and is now part of the Diageo Group. Makuhe whisky is known for its complexity, but enthusiasts especially love its "meaty taste", which is why Makuhe is known as The Beast of Dufftown.
Previously, the oldest Mooch whisky was a stand-alone bottled whisky, Gordon & Macphail Generations Mortlach 75 Year Old (G75).

The official wine reviews are as follows:
Color:
clear amber gold;
Body:
Moderately voluptuous, full and light;
Smell:
The nose is fragrant and mysterious, as if waiting for the right time, slowly unveiling the veil of many secret places. At first glance, the melodious aroma of ripe summer roadside fruit leads leisurely to the depths, and the dry and slightly pungent aroma is intertwined on the woody base, which is more complex. Then, a hint of Brazil nuts quietly emerged. With the addition of a little water, the woody spicy aroma becomes more distinct, while evoking a sweet aftertaste of fruity hard candy;
Tasting:
The taste is silky smooth, sweet but not greasy, fruity and pleasantly fruity. The richness of the dark berries contrasts with the warm, spicy flavours that act like a protective cocoon that protects and extends the flavours. Even with the cask, the whisky shows an extreme softness that does not match its age, with a pleasant woody flavour that never dominates. After adding a few drops of water, it is more supple and fruity, and then balanced by the spicy taste, which complements each other;
Epilogue:
Long and round, slightly dry, while the mild nuts and warm spices still surround the fruity aroma, leaving an otherworldly note. After adding water, the warmth spreads and turns into a reassuring afterglow, which is long and pleasant.
