Mannochmore 1998 Managers’ Choice Sherry Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Aroma is very pleasant.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: Finish is long, spicy and smooth.
Distillery Information
Mannochmore distillery is a Scottish Whisky distillery near Elgin. The distillery was founded in 1971 by John Haig & Co. Between 1985 and 1989, production was suspended and the distillery closed; it was then reopened and in 1992 started producing a Mannochmore single malt. In 1996 the black Loch Dhu (“Black Loch” in Scottish Gaelic) single malt whisky was introduced, and has been gaining market favour despite (or because of) the rather unusual appearance and taste. After a brief re-closure in 1995, the distillery only produces for twelve months and then has a break of twelve months alternating with the nearby Glenlossie distillery, with which it shares the employees.s
