Mannochmore

Mannochmore is a big operation, producing upwards of 3.2 million liters per year, but they've produced few official bottlings. The 12 year Flora and Fauna bottling was their first, and is the easiest to find. Known as a gently perfumed, cleanly floral Whisky, expect a dry, direct palette with none of the oiliness characteristic of the neighboring Glenlossie.

The Loch Dhu single malt stands decidedly apart from Mannochmore's other offerings. Heavily smoked and artificially colored, this, "Black Lake", has been discontinued since 1999 but, if found, promises an adventure in bold flavors.

The bulk of Mannochmore Whisky finds its way into blends, popping up in everything from Haig belnds to Johnnie Walker. It lends a dry, flowery presence to any composition. Independent bottlings are rare, but do exist, and can present a unique take on the Speyside tradition.
