Mortlach Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Bright honey-gold with warm amber depth and a sun-kissed, glossy glow.

Nose

Opulent nose of dark dried fruits—prune and fig—layered with toffee, cocoa and a whisper of orange zest. Hints of leather and warm spice—nutmeg and clove—add refinement, while toasted oak lends structure. A velvety, sherried sweetness unfolds, hinting at Mortlach’s signature depth.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate reveals orchard fruits and dried grape sweetness, unfolding into toffee and caramel with a measured peppery spice. Subtle mocha and dark chocolate notes mingle with resinous oak, while hogshead maturation adds a waxy creaminess that lingers in warm, nuanced spice and a long, polished finish.

Finish

Long, polished finish that clings to the palate with warm oak and gentle vanilla. Dark fruit—fig and prune—unfold alongside cocoa and a kiss of spice, leaving a refined, lingering warmth that basks in sweetness without overpower.
