Mannochmore distillery stands a few miles south of Elgin and draws water from the Barden Burn, which comes from the Mannoch Hills.
Surprisingly clean, dry, and refreshingly direct. Mannochmore makes a good aperitif with its light, grassy and herbal notes.
Mannochmore 12 Flora & Fauna Series has been bottled at 43% 70cl, light to medium in body - like a fine wine!
A delicate, floral Speysider. This Flora and Fauna edition is one of the very few bottlings of Mannochmore ever produced.
Serving Suggestion: Mannochmore works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
Nose: The first impression is sweet and lightly malty, then some aldehydic (green sticks) notes emerge and a slight whiff of brimstone. After a while, the green notes become green apples.
Palate: Fresh and clean – appetising with good acidity and a well-balanced dryness overall.
Finish: Surprisingly dry in the finish for a Speyside.
