Hailing from Speyside, Mortlach brings bold flavor that will be an exciting discovery for whisky enthusiasts. Their newly relaunched selections offer unique expressions with each bottle.

Using a complex 2.81 distilling process which has been guarded across generations, Mortlach has introduced three new releases: Mortlach 12-Year-Old Wee Witchie, Mortlach 16-Year-Old Distiller’s Dram and Mortlach 20-Year-Old Cowie’s Blue Seal. Below are the individual tasting notes.

Mortlach 12-Year-Old Wee Witchie ($50):
Oaky, soft vanilla and crème brûlée leads into poached pear and caramelized orange. Gentle, zesty flavors of citrus and cream with a little clove and maltyness at the end.

Mortlach 16-Year-Old Distiller’s Dram ($100): 
Opens with a sweet, dry baking spice character with cinnamon, allspice and cacao powder. This moves into a mid-palate of overripe banana and a rich butterscotch with hints of jasmine tea and acacia honey.

Mortlach 20-Year-Old Cowie’s Blue Seal ($200): 
Huge bursts of caramelized apple and dark berries are delivered with a wonderful rich, mouth coating viscosity, this then develops into dark chocolate coated malted milk balls and honey dipped fig slices.
