Whisky Old Particular Mortlach 12 YO 0.7 L

A single cask whisky bottled by Douglas Laing, the renowned independent Scottish family company celebrated for its exceptional, limited-edition releases that capture the true character of each distillery. This expression embodies the essence of the Mortlach Distillery – a deep, meaty, and complex whisky that balances robust body, rich malt character, and gentle spice tones.

The Mortlach Distillery, located in Dufftown, in the heart of Speyside, is famous for producing elegant yet powerful whiskies. Mortlach stands apart for its unique “2.81” distillation process, which gives the spirit its density, creaminess, and remarkable depth. This 12-year-old release was matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, preserving a natural balance between sweetness, spice, and delicate oak structure.

The nose offers notes of dark honey, dried fruits, toffee, vanilla, and roasted nuts. Subtle hints of sherry, spice, and oak emerge with time, accompanied by a faint trace of smoke – rich yet elegantly restrained.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, oily in texture, and concentrated, with layers of caramel, figs, chocolate, orange zest, and malty sweetness. Mid-palate reveals gentle spice, warm oak, and a soft nutty undertone. The finish is long, slightly sweet yet refined, leaving impressions of vanilla, dried fruit, and subtle spice.

A true Mortlach classic – powerful, structured, yet refined, where Speyside’s softness meets the depth and strength unique to Mortlach. Old Particular Mortlach 12 YO will appeal to those who appreciate complex, rich, and slightly meaty whiskies, revealing the full diversity of the Speyside region.
