Mortlach 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky 750ml

Known as the “Beast of Dufftown,” Mortlach has built its reputation on producing a richer, meatier style of Speyside whisky. The Mortlach 12 Year Old is the most approachable expression in the range — a beautifully balanced single malt that showcases the distillery’s uniquely complex distillation process while remaining smooth, bold, and incredibly drinkable.

Aged for 12 years in both American and European oak, this whisky captures Mortlach’s signature character: robust, savoury undertones wrapped in soft sweetness, warm spice, and elegant fruit. It’s a standout choice for those who enjoy deeper, more powerful flavours without stepping into the world of peat.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Inviting and complex. Notes of ripe pear, baked apple, and vanilla cream mingle with oak spice, subtle leather, and hints of dark honey. A gentle savoury edge  characteristic of Mortlach  adds depth and intrigue.

Palate

Rich, rounded, and full-flavoured. Layers of toffee, dried fruit, and malted barley sit alongside ginger spice, nutty sweetness, and a touch of dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is silky, with Mortlach’s signature weight and complexity shining through at 43% ABV.

Finish

Long, warm, and satisfying. Expect lingering notes of oak, spice, light cocoa, and a faint savoury richness that is uniquely Mortlach. A bold yet refined finish that invites another sip.
