The distillery was founded in 1971 by John Haig & Co. In 1992 the distillery started producing Mannochmore single malt. After a brief closure in 1995, the distillery started producing on alternate years with the nearby Glenlossie distillery, with which it shared employees. As of 2008 (the year of distillation for this expression), Mannochmore distillery has been operated year round by its own crew of employees.
From the Cask Series 014 this expression was distilled in March 2008 and bottled in February 2021. The colouring is natural the cask was not chill filtered. Outturn was 299 bottles.
Nose: Confectionary, honeyed peaches and cream. Nasturtium and rose petal florals. Lemon zest with herbal notes of thyme and basil and a hint of deep heat.
Palate: Sweet, juicy and effervescent with a nice viscosity in the mouth. There’s blackcurrant, sweet toffee apples, red berries and fragrant malted barley in the mid-palate. The swallow brings Chantilly cream, hazelnut and almond.
Finish: Granary toast with plenty of melted butter and that creaminess remains throughout the bittersweet finish.
