Creating new conversations to stay relevant
Mortlach distillery was the first legal distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, and it has long continued to set the standard. Known for its uniquely meaty and bold flavor, as well as its signature distilling process – 2.81 Distilled, the brand was looking to engage with new and current target audiences by creating new conversations.
