Mannochmore The Managers Dram Whisky 18 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery-rose highlights and a warm mahogany sheen.

Nose

Opulent, cask-strength aroma of dried fig and date, orange zest and treacle, braided with dark chocolate and espresso. Sherry-soaked fruit notes mingle with roasted nuts, vanilla and oak, while warm spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—echo through a long, fragrant finish of leather and tobacco.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxuriant, the palate arrives at natural cask strength with a velvety, syrupy texture. Rich notes of dark chocolate, fig, and dried plum mingle with toffee, orange zest, and espresso. Spiced warmth—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—drifts through the oak and a hint of red fruit. A long, sumptuous finish of cacao, leather, and subtle smoke lingers.

Finish

Long and decadently sherried, the finish drapes a chorus of dark fruit: raisin, fig, plum, alongside caramel and cocoa. Spiced oak carries a warm, velvety fade, with a final wisp of almond and toasted timber lingering.
