Mannochmore Chapter 7 Single Cask #16612 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
In stock
The young Mannochmore distillery has a brief but successful history. Mannochmore was a major contributor to the Haig's blends. John Haig & Company Limited managed it until 1985 when they mothballed it.
In 1989 the distillery was re-opened again. The first official single malt bottling was a 12 year old under the Flora & Fauna range. Under Diageo’s ownership, the distillery has continued to be a bulk provider of malt whisky for blends.
Mannochmore is no stranger to Chapter 7, but this is their first bottling. Don't miss this whisky. It is a great opportunity to discover what goes into those delicious Diageo blends.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark, burnished amber with coppery hues and a mahogany-tinged edge.
Nose
Sherried depth rises on the nose: dark cherry, plum and sultana with fig and raisin, wrapped in polished oak, vanilla, and cocoa. Almond notes mingle with orange zest, while a touch of spice lingers. Warm, dessert-like sweetness coats the senses, revealing the malt’s elegance and a refined, lingering finish.
Palate
Rich, sherried mouthfeel coats the tongue with decadent fruit and spice. Dried cherry, fig and raisin mingle with cocoa, toasted almond and a kiss of orange zest, all carried by a full, velvety texture. Cinnamon and black pepper lift the mid-palate, while oak lends structure. Long, warming finish with lingering sweetness and gentle spice.
Finish
Long, velvety finish layered with sherry-dark fruit, roasted raisin and fig, and cocoa nibs. Spices rise—cinnamon and clove—followed by toasted oak and gentle sweetness that lingers, warming the palate into a refined, lasting conclusion.
