Mortlach The Wee Witchie Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
“The Wee Witchie” is the smallest of our six stills. Since it was first forged more than 120 years ago we have fastidiously ensured every dent and detail remains unchanged because it is within this copper chamber that the specific richness of taste which has earned Mortlach the reputation as “The Beast of Dufftown” is created.
We dedicate this 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky to the still that bears the beast. It has been double cask matured in both European and American oak to enhance the distinctively rich and robust character that makes Mortlach whiskies legendary.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Opulent amber-gold with copper highlights and a dusky bronze edge.
Nose
Dense and inviting, the nose opens to fig and raisin, layered with dark chocolate, toffee and orange zest. European sherry influence gifts spice—nutmeg and clove—while American oak adds vanilla and caramel. A subtle, meaty Dufftown heartbeat lingers, hinting at rich cherry, cocoa and warm toasted oak.
Palate
A full, velvet-smooth palate of rich dried fruit, dark chocolate and toffee, lifted by warm spice. Double-cask maturation in European and American oak yields a robust, weighty mouthfeel with a long, lingering oak finish.
Finish
Long, warm and robust, the finish lingers with dark fruit and spice from the European oak, softened by vanilla from American oak. A cocoa-kissed sweetness threads through, slowly fading to toasted wood and a hint of malt.
