Tasting Notes
Mortlach's famously meaty, Speyside character shines through this 12-year-old expression, weaving rich dried fruits and dark chocolate with a subtle wisp of sulphur-kissed smoke that gives it an almost mystical depth. The palate builds from honeyed cereal warmth into layers of stewed plum, beeswax, and cracked black pepper before a long, warming finish that lingers with leather and toasted oak. A whisky of genuine complexity and old-world character, rewarding patience and contemplation in equal measure.

Sensory Profile
Nose
The nose opens with a characteristically rich and slightly meaty Mortlach signature, layered with dark dried fruits — prune, raisin, and fig — underpinned by honeyed barley, beeswax, and a faint wisp of sulphur that adds intrigue and depth.
Palate
On the palate, waves of stewed plum and dark chocolate give way to warming baking spices, cracked black pepper, and a satisfying cereal richness, all held together by the distillery's trademark full-bodied, almost savoury texture.
