2011 House of MacDuff The Golden Cask Mannochmore 11 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Fascinating to taste Mannochmore in burgeoning adulthood, this one offering a seductive mix of dried pear, coconut and Ugg boots, especially on the nose. More of those lovely coconut and vanilla cream notes are found on the palate, the orchard fruits being crisper and less ripe. Classy malt, though at just 11 years, there’s a few bristles to contend with. Add water for a naturally softer feel while the fruits become more salient. 279 bottles from a bourbon cask. 56% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
