Mortlach Single Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 12 Years The Wee Witchie

Mortlach 12 Year Old "The Wee Witchie" is a bold and complex Speyside single malt that perfectly showcases the distillery's signature robust, "meaty" character—a profile that famously earned Mortlach the nickname "The Beast of Dufftown." Named in honor of the smallest and most essential of the distillery's copper pot stills, this expression undergoes Mortlach's unique 2.81-time distillation process before being double-cask matured in a combination of European and American oak (both ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks). The resulting dram strikes a beautiful balance between weighty dried fruits and fresh vanilla, opening with a rich nose of dark toffee, red berries, and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers a deeply satisfying, savory-sweet mix of demerara sugar, dark chocolate, and cherry jam, culminating in a smooth, warming finish layered with oak spice and lingering citrus oils.
