Mannochmore 17 Years Old Infrequent Flyers Batch 20

ABV: 50.4% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled in 2008 at the Mannochmore Distillery in Elgin, in the Speyside Region of Scotland. It was aged for 17 years, including a finishing period of 4 years and 3 months in a refill ruby port hogshead. The port hogshead enhanced the naturally fruity Mannochmore spirit, adding extra layers of fruit along with a touch of sweet, peppery spice.

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring by Alistair Walker for his Infrequent Flyers collection. 

Nose

Strawberries and cream versus Biscoff biscuits.

Palate

Very fruity - orange bitters, marmalade, apricots and peach cobbler, with ever-welcome crème brûlée. A sweet, peppery spice emerges, briefly, then fades.

£87.99

Tax included.
