Chapter Five Hound Mannochmore 13 year old Fable Whisky 59,3%vol. 0,7l

Mannochmore Distillery is located south of Elgin in Morayshire, in the heart of Speyside.
Built in 1971 on the site of the Glenlossie Distillery, it draws its water from the Bardon Burn - whose ancient riverbed and banks contribute to the whiskey's direct personality.
Mannochmore is one of the manifestations of the self-confidence of the 1960s - a situation that is currently being repeated.
The distillery was built in 1971 by DCL (Distillers Company Limited) to meet the increasing international demand for blends.

Mannochmore was managed by John Haig and Co.
Only relatively recently, in 1992, was single malt Scotch whiskey released by Mannochmore; for many years it was a blending component and part of Haig blends.

Worth knowing about the distillery
Mannochmore has warehouses capable of storing more than 250,000 casks of aging spirits.
The distillery has its own dark grain processing facility, which converts draft beer and pot ale into animal feed.
The first official single malt was not released until 1992.

Nose: Ripe pears, honeydew melon and spicy oak - followed by aromas of ripe strawberries, light grapes and smooth honey
Palate: Mouth-filling and oily - distinct mango and pear, followed by spicy oak - then strawberries and grapes again, some wild honey and candle wax
Finish: Long on the finish - the mango and pear are still present, along with the soft honey and creamy bananas - spicy oak and fresh mint above all
