Mannochmore 'Single Malts of Scotland' 2011 / 9 years old 60.2%

Specially chosen from a single 9 year old single cask from the Mannochmore distillery, this is a dram showing a marriage of wood and spirit to create notes of baked goods and subtle sweetness. The nose opens with a bench of baking ingredients - sugar, cinnamon and spicy ginger with toasted almonds. At 60.2% it is a big dram, and with water it opens up with more nuts (hazelnut), vanilla ice cream tones and again that signature freshly baked biscuit flavour.
