The Mossburn Vintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of this Single Malt, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional example of the whisky made by one of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.

With eight wash-backs and eight stills, Mannochmore lies at the other end of the ageing warehouses to its sister distillery Glenlossie, in the heart of the Speyside region close to Elgin. The stills are slightly thinner and taller than some in the Diageo estate, which emphasises the florality in the newly made spirit.

After fourteen years in bourbon cask this whisky has developed delightful notes of orange peel, vanilla and oak spice on the nose, with soft highland fudge and a touch of cedar, hazelnut and beeswax. The palate is well rounded, beguiling and complex. The spirit then throws in some weighty cereal notes, with stewed apple and a defined spicy oak finish.

This select release has been bottled at cask strength, without colouring or chill filtration, to showcase the purest expression of the Single Malt’s character.
