Mortlach Signatory Vintage Small Batch Edition #1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 2012 Vintage

Colour

Deep natural amber with copper-bronze highlights and mahogany edges, a warm, sherried glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dark fruits: prunes, raisins and fig, woven with orange zest, vanilla and toffee. Bourbon echoes bring vanilla-caramel notes, while cinnamon, nutmeg and clove weave through, giving spice. Waxy oak, almond and a whisper of leather add depth, finishing with glossy, velvety richness that promises a powerful yet refined palate.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, this Mortlach delivers a rich tapestry of dark fruits—fig, raisin, date—woven with toffee, cocoa and a touch of coffee. Oloroso sherry depth mingles with vanilla and spice from the ex-bourbon casks, with orange zest, nutmeg and almond notes. A waxy, oily mouthfeel supports a warming, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish with persistent sherry fruits—raisin, fig and dark chocolate—woven with vanilla and toffee from the bourbon cask. Dried fruit sweetness slowly gives way to toasted spice, turning subtly nutty as the oak leaves a lingering, satisfying warmth.
