Tasting Notes
Mortlach 12 Year Old is a delightful single malt whisky that takes you on a flavorful journey through the heart of Speyside. With its deep amber hue, it entices the senses from the very first glance. The nose is a harmonious blend of damson plums, toasted almonds, and a hint of cinder toffee, all underpinned by the richness of heavy barley. On the palate, it warms with the embrace of oak, accompanied by soft raisins and a subtle salinity reminiscent of olive oil. The finish lingers, revealing notes of jam, nuttiness, and lingering citrus oils that cut through with refreshing clarity. This expression, dubbed "The Wee Witchie," pays homage to the tiny still that contributes to its unique character, and is a testament to the artistry of Mortlach's distillers, who skillfully marry bourbon and sherry cask influences to create a whisky that is both robust and refined.
