Description
Part of the refreshed line-up from 'the Beast of Dufftown', this expression from Mortlach has been matured in American and European oak ex-bourbon and sherry casks.
This 12-year-old is affectionately known as 'The Wee Witchie', and is described as having notes of chocolate, marmalade and tobacco.
The result is a success, combining the best of both of these worlds while still showing off the meaty Mortlach spirit.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and deep, with immediate warming, toasty oak tones (wood shavings) and a light peachy element that moves towards honey and then cooked fruits hinting at good depth.
Palate: A sweet, almost peachy, concentrated start with a little oak and almost smoky (charred) element. It’s at its most expressive on the mid-palate where you pick out bitter chocolate, marmalade and light tobacco that’s balanced by a puddle of syrup before it deepens further and starts to grip.
Finish: Quite dry and slightly sooty/ashy with oak (fresh-sawn timber). There’s some plum with an added hint of bitterness.
