This is a 12 year old single malt produced at the Mortlach distillery in Speyside, unveiled in 2018 as part of a trio (including a 16 Year Old and a 20 Year Old). This particular expression features the subtitle The Wee Witchie, which comes from the name of the tiny still that distils a portion of the whisky. It's drawn from bourbon and sherry casks, and packs a hearty punch of meaty Mortlach-y malt at its core, supported by dried fruit and toffee notes.
Damson, toasted almond, cinder toffee and heavy barley.
Warming oak and soft raisins, with a bit of olive oil salinity mixed in.
A bit jammy, a bit nutty, some lingering citrus oils cutting through.
I had a little tasting comparison session last evening - Mortlach 12 v Macallan 12 - and the Mortlach won hands down! Even better since I bought the Mortlach in the MoM sale for £39. I know some people (and I know a few of them) are willing to part with silly money just because it says Macallan on the label but in my opinion - and I know all this is very subjective - they should pay less for a better dram.
I've only ever had the rare old expression of Mortlach ( which is one of my all time favorites) so to see something with an age statement from them I couldn't resist and I am glad I got this. The nose is rich and inviting with lots of cinnamon/raisin, the palate is glorious so much character, nutty , spicy, oaky and even a little bit smoky with a lovely raisin and orange marmalade finish leaving an oily feel in your mouth. For a 12 year old Speyside whisky it doesn't get much better than this I am really loving this bottle gonna have to go get another for just $ 50 totally worth it. Thanks Mortlach !Cheers!

Delicious. Didn't take long to Polish off. Ordering another. Bold but smooth
~EXCELLENT~ 12 year old Speyside malt whisky, Impressively presented *Full Sized* decanter
Love the caramel colour. I tend to the lighter sweeter whiskeys so this is made for me. Can definitely tell the damson and raises on the palette. Oak tast. Cant’ put my finger on the finish but smooth enough . I’d say a little vanilla on the pallet as well. Lovely tipple.
