Mannochmore 1994 (bottled 2014) - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & Macphail) Whisky

Wow, this is superb. I am hesitant to fly the flag as this dram may quickly disappear, but have to give praise. I'm not a Speysider, but this is full flavored and not gentle/smooth(!). One recent interpretation was waffles with butter and jam. There's faint woodsmoke too, and nice cask spices, and it all comes together rather gloriously. Nose is a nice feedback loop of (sugared) breakfast breads and fruits, and a touch of spice a la cinnamon (but there is oh so more!). Palate is royal. Peaches and strawberry jam, taken with a spoon, and a tad of mint. Sumptuous mouthfeel. Lingering fruits with emerging spice on the finish.... citrus juicy and very long. This is one of the reasons I've become a whiskyphile, life is good while bottle is not empty.
