Surprisingly clean, dry, and refreshingly direct. Mannochmore makes a good aperitif with its light, grassy and herbal notes.
APPEARANCE
Pale gold or white wine.
BODY
Light to medium in body, like a fine wine.
NOSE
The first impression is sweet and lightly malty, then some aldehydic (green sticks) notes emerge and a slight whiff of brimstone. After a while, the green notes become green apples, and the sulphur notes more like carbon monoxide. With water, similar to the unreduced nose: fresh-fruity, with traces of 'Spangles' and acid drops, and still a hint of sulphur compounds in the background. Somewhat 'monochromatic' for a Speyside.
PALATE
Fresh and clean – appetising with good acidity and a well-balanced dryness overall.
FINISH
Surprisingly dry in the finish for a Speyside.
