A versatile, smooth and easy-drinking whisky, with a good balance of sweet and dry notes and a medium-length finish. This 12-year-old single malt whisky is surprisingly rich and sherried, with notes of baked fruits, spices and chocolate.

Nose: Notes of subtly spiced cereals, mango, papaya and pea pods. Traces of hard toffee and light oak chips. A drop of water reveals notes of cinnamon brioche and salted caramel.

Mouth: Silky and fluid with an intense taste of sweet butterscotch, a spicy-dry and woody intensity. The addition of water softens the honeyed sweetness of the creamy, smooth Swiss milk chocolate, with just a hint of salt in the mid-palate. The mild spices now keep the sweetness in check.

Finish: Short and rather intense, with spicy chili pepper notes.

Surprisingly clean, dry, direct and refreshing. With its light, grassy, herbal notes, Mannochmore is perfect as an aperitif.

Palate: On the palate, red fruit notes dominate, accompanied by subtle hints of strawberry chewing gum, caramel pudding and blackberries.

Finish: The finish reveals a hint of hazelnut and nutty aromas.
