Mortlach 12 Year Old 2013 Single Cask (Master of Malt)
Mmmmmmm! A meaty Mortlach for our Master of Malt Single Cask collection! Distilled in 2013, this single malt spent a dozen years maturing in a refill hogshead, and we squeezed precisely 300 bottles from that cask in 2025 (as always, without added colour or chill filtration). Mortlach still uses a brilliant bit of old school kit called a worm tub condenser. While not as efficient as the modern-day condensers that have replaced them in most distilleries, worm tubs are prized for the heavy, robust flavour profiles that they can achieve, as you'll see demonstrated magnificently in this single malt.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Funky and tropical from the get-go, with creamy grist and overripe fruit, candied pineapple, almond butter, and buttered oatcakes with marmalade.
Palate
Big, bold, juicy barley, a lick of toffee, browned butter, and syrupy sponge cake lead to vibrant notes of yellow plum, buttery pastry, hazelnut cream, and oaken vanilla. Super bright and funky.
Finish
Meaty malt develops for the finish, with dense caramel sweetness, candied walnut, drying oak, salted papaya, and a smidge of chilli chocolate.
