MANNOCHMORE 2014 100 Proof #51 1st Fill PX & refill Hogsheads Signatory Vintage

This version of Mannochmore, distilled in 2014, was aged in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks before being bottled at 57.10% ABV. This Speyside single malt, with a fruity and indulgent profile, reveals notes of orange marmalade, brown sugar, and fig. Founded in 1971 in the heart of Speyside, Mannochmore is a relatively young distillery, often overlooked by the general public. It shares its site with Glenlossie and primarily produces Diageo blends. However, its single malt deserves attention: dry, floral, and sometimes herbaceous, it gains in indulgence when aged in sherry casks. Rarely bottled in an official version, Mannochmore reveals its full potential in the hands of independent bottlers like Signatory Vintage. The 100 Proof range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous "Navy Strength." At 57.1% ABV, this range showcases a variety of distilleries, each expressing itself with great intensity while retaining the aromatic richness that is characteristic of Signatory Vintage's aging expertise. A range to delve deeper into tasting and rediscover the aging work of this independent bottler.
