Berry Bros & Rudd·Small BatchMannochmore

This is an independent bottling of Mannochmore, a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, released by Berry Bros. & Rudd. At 11 years old and bottled at 46.0% ABV, it sits in a youthful, approachable part of the single malt spectrum.

The hogshead cask format suggests a style where the distillery character can remain fairly visible rather than being dominated by oak. For a novice drinker, this is likely to be a good example of a younger Speyside malt with a straightforward, balanced presentation.
