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.
Nose: Damson, toasted almond, cinder toffee and heavy barley.
Palate: Warming oak and soft raisins, with a bit of olive oil salinity mixed in.
Finish: A bit jammy, a bit nutty, some lingering citrus oils cutting through.

Absolutely gorgeous, without a doubt the best malt I have ever tasted
14th January 2021
I absolutely love this, been through 3 bottles this year. I mainly drink Speyside and sherried cask whiskies, though individual standouts for me in 2020 were Glengoyne 15 and Glendronnach 12. The mortlach 12 it’s a subtle dram so avoid if you like them heavy and peated. However if you want something smooth and slightly sweet this is more complex than most, with a hint of smoke and long finish.

I must say I was underwhelmed by this whisky, especially one that calls itself the ‘Beast’. It’s very enjoyable but for the price I think the extremely underrated Blair athol is far superior.

This gets mixed reviews but I find this very nice and smooth the price about heavy but would buy again

When the most remarkable thing about a whisky turns out to be the shape of the bottle you know you're in trouble. It's not that there's anything fundamentally wrong about this expression, it's just that it's distinctly underwhelming with not a lot happening in the mouth and very little in the way of finish. I was disappointed, especially given the number of positive reviews.

A great value for money whisky. One of the best 12 years.

Heard a lot about Mortlach so opted for a bottle...disappointing is an understatement. Nose is mild and without much by means of interest, palate is incredibly mundane and very cheap tasting, finish is decent but again one dimensional. I've tasted blended malts way cheaper that are way better, this stuff is poor and I could not recommend it to anyone. So much better out there at this price but, even if this was 10% of its current retail, I still wouldn't buy it again.
Bit disappointed by this one, as it clearly has colorant added (the colour is as convincing as a certain President’s tan) and also is chill-filtered. I disagree with those who fins the texture full and rich, it is on the thin side in my opinion. Taste is OK, smell even better. Especially after 15-20 minutes in the glass it opens up nicely. Easy on the water as it gets too thin too quickly. Mortlach should skip the fake colour and chill-filtration and they would have a far better product.

Delicious! Sweet & oily. Rich 12, spicy holiday flavors. Raisins and toffee. Nice body, def not light in consistency. Mortlach is thick and heavy by volume. One of the best.

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.
