Description

Hunter Laing, the Laing family independent based in Glasgow, selected this 12 Year Old: a 2005 vintage from cask HL 13298, an outturn of 315 bottles. Mortlach, the Beast of Dufftown, condenses its spirit in worm tubs and part-triple-distils through the tiny Wee Witchie still, building weight and a savoury, sulphury core.

By twelve years the bourbon oak had knitted with the robust Mortlach spirit, caramelised hemicellulose lending fudge alongside the savoury depth.

At 50% it shows fresh fruit, citrus, cooked fruit, honey, a leafy note and leather, undiluted. A meaty, muscular Mortlach.
