Mannochmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 14y 2008
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Highland-Speyside |
Description
Mannochmore sits on the more delicate side of the Speyside flavour wheel, so bottling expert Keith Bonnington didn’t want to kill the distillate with this first fill Oloroso Sherry hogshead. The liquid was checked regularly through its final 18 months of "finishing" in the sherry cask, and the influence is pretty special in this 14-year-old stunner. The whisky has a burnished copper colour, with fruits of the forest jam, orange peel and ripe fig aromas. On the palate, you will taste black wine gums, artisanal marmalade, dates, and Jamaican ginger cake spice. The finish has nut and raisin chocolate, toffee apples, nutmeg, and cinnamon swirls.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
