Mortlach's 12 Year flagship is a whisky that brings a lot of different elements to the glass, but also one with a clearly intentional, idiosyncratic styling. The aromatics are angular, serving this whisky well as it carves out a multi-dimensional space for itself holding in suspension well defined notes of apple streudal, cooked plantains, sweet herbs, white berries, a hint of turmeric and gentle spices. The palate is medium-light, more focused and linear (a few drops of water, finds new depths) and drying with flavors centered on fresh pears, mulberry galette, vanilla and a prickle of cracked pepper. A stand-out as an everyday dram and just the thing you'd expect when reaching for a dram of the 'Beast of Dufftown.'
