Mortlach 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, 70 Cl

Uniquely 2.81 times distilled. Double cask matured in both European and American oak for 12 years to enhance the distinctively rich and robust character that makes Mortlach whiskies legendary.

Rich, fruity and vibrant with hints of umami, light spice, dark chocolate, and cherries, leading to a smooth yet dry finish.

Since 1896 all Mortlach whiskies have been 2.81 distilled. Unlike with any other whisky, our spirit criss-crosses between six copper stills of completely different silhouettes 0.81 more times than is Scotch tradition. It is an exact science graced with a touch of magic from “The Wee Witchie”.“The Wee Witchie” is the smallest of our six stills. Since it was first forged more than 120 years ago we have fastidiously ensured every dent and detail remains unchanged because it is within this copper chamber that the specific richness of taste has earned Mortlach the reputation as “The Beast of Dufftown” is created. We dedicate this 12-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky to the still that bears the beast. It has been double cask matured in both European and American oak to enhance the distinctively rich.

A bit of history

Alexander Cowie was a brave outsider. A doctor in a distiller’s world. A man bolder than most. We continue to do things our way, crafting our own traditions, just like Alexander did to forge a unique way to a bigger Scotch. "Big flavour without big smoke". Its character harks back to a time when whiskies were bigger, bolder, darker. It is the earthy, meaty roots of Speyside. Its flavour is not what people expect from Speyside but it is a flavour which is gaining in popularity – and is rarely found. At the foundation of many famous blends is this throwback to the old days, to days before Dufftown even existed. It is the dark reduction of whisky to some primal essence.” Dave Broom, Whisky Writer"
