Mortlach 12 Year Old
The Wee Witchie
The Mortlach Distillery is located in the historic burgh of Dufftown, a small town of less then 1700 but home to several prominent distelleries. Mortlach Distillery was founded in 1823, by one James Findlater on the site of what was previously an illegal operation. Mortlach was the first legally licensed producer in what would come to be known as the, "Whisky Capital of the World."
Mortlach is known for its somewhat unusual distillation process. The house has 6 stills, each of which has a different size and shape, and each of which was added at a different time in Mortlach's history. They combine to render what Mortlach calls a "2.81 distillation process."
Water arrives from the Dykehead Catsvraig, in the Conval Hills of Speyside. Mortlach's barley — also from Speyside — is unpeated. Though known for maturation in Sherry casks, Mortlach has in recent years, introduced ex-Bourbon American oak to their warehouses.
The history of Mortlach is an honorable one of tradition, innovation, and engineering.
The 12 Year Old single malt was 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 malt at its core, supported by dried fruit and toffee notes.

Mortlach's 12-year gem, "The Wee Witchie," is a terrific enigma of rich, toasty oak embracing subtle hints of chestnut and wax crayon. With its deep, warm embrace, it is a distinguished pick for those seeking complexity and depth in their dram.

Stumbling upon "The Wee Witchie" is like finding buried treasure, with its warm oak and fruity charms.

Rich and deep, the oak tones, warmed nicely, are sure to leave you overwhelmed. Cooked fruits and honeyed depth, hints of wax crayon, sweet chestnut – intrigued, aren't you?

Gosh, sipped that dozen-year-old spirit, and it was pure magic, scented like paradise!
