Mortlach 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Mortlach 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Since 1896 all Mortlach whiskies have been 2.81 distilled. Unlike with any other whisky, this spirit criss crosses between six copper stills of completely different silhouettes 0.81 more times than is Scotch tradition. It is an exact science graced with a touch of magic from” The Wee Witchie”. “The Wee Witchie” is the smallest of the six stills. Since it was first forged more than 120 years ago Mortlach 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. Mortlach 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.
