A big bodied Mannochmore - heavy on the sherry. This was distilled in 1990 and released as part of Diageo's range of special releases. Each bottle is at cask strength and individually numbered.
Without water: Sugary bread dough, light fruit, hint of oak and spice. Adding water brought out more of the fruit flavors and diminished some of the Rye flavor. Overall it is pretty good, but I agree a little overpriced on this one.
Well, I did a review for my whisky tasting from the past; I tried some more malts recently and extended my horizons. Mannochmore supposed to have nice oily body, which I didnt detect. I cant escape the fact that for this amount cash one can buy three different bottles of good sherryied whisky. Should entitledly expect "wow" for this price, but just didnt live to tell.
Nice that I can join some comment. Mannochmore is a nice sherried whisky, definitely with special appearance. Maybe a little overpriced, but intriguing anyway.
Me, the porest woman of Enkhuizen-Holland, just won a whiskey-tasting at my home that took place yesterday evening.Together with to friends we dronk our first Mannochmore 18 year old and I was almost in tears. There was this little, intimed rendez-vous in my mouth, so delicat and yet so passionat that it remind me of my first kiss. I'll never forget this one.
