From the Fable Whisky range comes a 13 year old Mannochmore single malt Scotch whisky, drawn from a single hogshead that was laid down in May 2008. A baker's dozen years later in May 2021, it was bottled up at cask strength, with an outturn of 293 bottles. The labels from Fable Whisky feature characters and scenes from the tale of The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay, designed by Hugo Cuellar, and they are very snazzy indeed.
Toffee and chocolate, with drying malt and a smidge of fruit tea.
Still rich in barley notes, though now it's developed hints of walnut, nutmeg, and cherry.
Subtly oily on the finish, with a touch of nougat too.
I bought the full first Fable set (5 different bottles) for my partner for his birthday as he is a huge whisky fan and has a particular love for Scottish single malts so it was a no brainer to give Fable a go. We had a whisky tasting night in to try them all and both of us can confidently say these whiskies are all absolutely incredible. If we had to choose, I'd say personal favourite is the Mannochmore and my partner's would be the Caol Ila but honestly all five of them are simply beautiful. Without a doubt, I'd recommend all of the Fable whiskies and we already can't wait for the next release - amazing whiskies and gorgeous packaging.
