Description
Looking for a Speyside single malt that breaks all the conventional rules of whisky making?
Mortlach 12 Years “The Wee Witchie” represents one of Scotland’s most unconventional distilleries, employing a mysterious 2.81 distillation process that creates remarkably complex spirits. This double cask matured expression showcases why Mortlach has earned its reputation as “The Beast of Dufftown.” Unlike smoother Speyside expressions such as Tomintoul 16 Years or Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask, Mortlach delivers robust, meaty character that challenges traditional Speyside expectations.
**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Mortlach – Scotland’s first legal distillery in Dufftown (est. 1823)
• Region: Speyside – known for elegant, approachable single malts
