This Speyside single cask was distilled in 2011 and bottled at the slightly higher abv of 48%, after being matured for 11 years in a hogshead (or ‘hoggie’, is a term used in the Scotch whisky industry to describe a 250L rebuilt barrel, usually containing extra staves or new oak ends)
Mannochmore, Glenlossie’s sister distillery, is a relatively young distillery which was established in 1971 by DCL to cope with the increasing demand for blends at that time.
It presents a light and fruity character, and it was a major ingredient in Dimple and Haig.
Nowadays, it can be found officially as part of Diageo’s Flora & Fauna release. Mannochmore was also the home of the infamous, now discontinued “Black Whisky” Loch Dhu.
Only 364 bottles available.
