Producer: | Mossburn |
Origin: | Scotland / Highland-Speyside |
Description
The Mossburn Vintage Casks Whiskies are a collection of single malt Scotch whiskies, which are strictly limited and produced from selected casks. To highlight the unique and specific character of each single malt, only a limited number of bottles are produced. This Mannochmore whisky was bottled by Mossburn exclusively for Baur au Lac Vins at cask strength. The Mannochmore is aged for 15 years in a Madeira cask, which gives it a golden amber color. The nose is highly complex, marked by citrus notes, lovage, ripe orange as well as caramel. The spicy notes are accompanied by a graceful sweetness. The palate spreads a warm, creamy mouthfeel complemented by citrus flavors, truffle notes and nutty components. The slightly sweet finish lingers long. This whisky was bottled without colorants or chill filtration. Sláinte

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.

Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
