Chapter 7 Whisky Monologue Mannochmore 11 Year Old (70cl, 52.5%)

An 11 year old single malt from Mannochmore in Speyside, bottled by Chapter 7 Whisky in its Monologue range at 52.5% in a 70cl bottle. It was distilled in December 2008 and bottled in September 2020, from a bourbon hogshead that gave 338 bottles. It is natural colour and non-chill-filtered. Mannochmore was long a major contributor to the Haig blends. John Haig & Company managed the distillery until 1985, when it was mothballed, and it reopened in 1989. The nose is lemon curd, lemongrass, brioche and baker's yeast. Orange marmalade, lavender honey and freshly baked baguettes come through on the palate, and the finish has Chardonnay, fresh coconut and sweet mandarins.
