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.

Sorry but I can’t give this any more than 4 stars, there is nothing wrong with it but it just didn’t grab my bag! A pleasant drink but not for me.
Nice bottle for a gift or yourself. Good value. Robust oak and oily palate and a smooth finish. Look forward to trying more from Mortlach
Was gifted this, and very nice it is too. Raisins, toffee, nuts and spice all making this very enjoyable. Can't see this bottle lasting long!
Why has it taken me over 50 years to discover the Wee Witchie ? A great Malt for those who like a “meaty” Speyside. My previous favourite Speyside was the 12 Year Old Macallan, but now at knocking 70 quid, the Wee Witchie has it beat !
Wonderful dram...lovely flavours...Christmas cake comes to mind...well finished..rounded...great buy... this is one of the best...
