Fable The Hound, Chapter Five, is a single cask Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distilled at Mannochmore, aged 12 years and bottled at cask strength, listed at 57.8% ABV.
Fable is an independent bottler, and Chapter Five represents the hound in the tale of The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay.
The whisky spent its life in a single ex-bourbon cask and is bottled without chill filtration.
Mannochmore is known for a clean, floral Speyside malt that makes a fine canvas for cask maturation.
The label's bold black-and-white hound artwork makes this a striking bottle for collectors of independent bottlings.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
