Matured for twelve years and bottled at 43% ABV, this official release showcases a distillery whose production is overwhelmingly reserved for blending, making single malt bottlings remarkably uncommon. This later \"Black Cap\" edition continues the legacy of one of the quietest stars within the Flora \u0026amp; Fauna range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and gently fruity in character, Mannochmore offers a refined Speyside profile built around fresh orchard fruits, soft malt sweetness and subtle spice. Its limited official availability has made it one of the more sought-after Flora \u0026amp; Fauna bottlings among enthusiasts looking beyond Speyside's better-known names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh green apples, pear, honey, beeswax, citrus zest and delicate floral notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and silky with sweet malt, orchard fruits, vanilla, gentle nuttiness and soft oak spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with drying oak, fresh fruit, gentle pepper and lingering malt sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mannochmore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flora \u0026amp; Fauna – Black Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 April 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1971 beside Glenlossie near Elgin, Mannochmore remains one of Speyside's least familiar distilleries despite producing an elegant and characterful spirit. Almost all of its whisky is destined for Diageo's blended Scotch portfolio, leaving very little available as official single malt. That scarcity has made Mannochmore bottlings particularly attractive to collectors seeking distilleries rarely encountered on retail shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bottling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flora \u0026amp; Fauna collection was created to showcase Diageo distilleries that seldom appear as official single malts. Mannochmore has always been one of the hardest expressions in the series to source, and the later Black Cap presentation continues one of the collection's most quietly desirable modern releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
