Single Cask Nation Mannochmore 17 Year Old is a single-cask Speyside single malt, distilled in 2007 at Mannochmore near Elgin and bottled at 17 years old by the independent bottler Single Cask Nation.
It is bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration.
It is a powerful, complex whisky with a syrupy texture that opens up with a few drops of water.
Mannochmore is a Diageo distillery best known as a component of blends, so a single-cask bottling of its spirit is a rare find.
Single Cask Nation, founded in New York, selects individual casks and bottles each one as it is, so every release is unique and limited to the bottles that one cask can fill. This Mannochmore is a fine bottle for a collector of independent bottlings or anyone who enjoys a bold, unusual Speyside.
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.
