A third sample from the package I bought, another from a distillery I haven’t tried and likely wouldn’t have were it not for this package.
Mannochmore 10, 2008 Vintage, Scotch Malt Whisky Society 64.108, Speyside Single Malt, 61% ABV
Minutia: Distilled on March 5, 2008 and matured in a refill ex-bourbon barrel for 10 years yielding 218 bottles. This is part of the Light & Delicate flavor profile named “Something for the weekend…”. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Pale gold, 0.3.
Nose: Grassy, malty, putty.
Taste: Fruit, some spices.
Finish: Putty, sweet flowers.
This didn’t have all that much going on with what I tend to like, mostly smoke and peat-associated flavors and aromas. I did find it interesting how it played with my palate when I returned to it a bit after having a rocket pop, though, so that was kind of neat.
Score: 69
