Our first KWM exclusive cask of Mannochmore, at least best we can tell! Distilled March 18, 2008, the whisky was bottled on June 17, 2021, after 13 years in a Hogshead Cask #3778. 55.3%
700ml mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: absolutely gorgeous for a 13 year old, so much depth; peaches & cream, dried apricots, and clotted cream with marmalade on a warm scone; it is getting a bit more exotic with some creme caramel, Strawberry Twizzlers, and tropical fruits.
Palate: big, round, fruity, lush and coating; this is not what you expect from most 13 years old, so elegant and complex; bags of fruit: white and orchard, plus some tropical to boot; a bit of waxy Strawberry Twizzlers, and Starburst candies; velvety oak tones with crisp decadent spice.
Finish: long, coating, and warm, but not hot; more fruits, spice, decadence.
Comment: this is ridiculously good for the price, with a depth and elegance of a much older whisky!
