Mortlach 12 year old Wee Witchie, 43.4%

Price: 50 Issue: Winter 2018 Reviewer: Gavin Smith Category: Single Malt Scotch

The youngest of the 2018 Mortlach trio, this is named after the distillery's famous small spirit still. Maturation has taken place in sherry and bourbon casks. Baked apricots and ginger on the nose, with black pepper, lots of milk chocolate, and an herbal note. The palate is mildly savory, with more milk chocolate, vanilla, orchard fruits, and cinnamon. Lingering chocolate ginger in the finish.
