Mannochmore Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, 15y 2007, 70 cl

The Mossburn Vintage Cask Whiskies are a collection of single malt Scotch whiskies, produced in strictly limited quantities from selected casks. To highlight the unique and specific character of each single malt, only a limited number of bottles are ever produced. This Mannochmore whisky was bottled by Mossburn exclusively for Baur au Lac Vins at cask strength. The Mannochmore "Great Monk" matures for 15 years in a Madeira cask, which gives it a golden amber color. The nose reveals a high degree of complexity, characterized by citrus notes, lovage, ripe orange, and caramel. The spicy notes are accompanied by a graceful sweetness. On the palate, a warm, creamy mouthfeel unfolds, complemented by citrus aromas, truffle notes, and nutty components. The slightly sweet finish lingers. This whisky was bottled without added coloring or chill filtration. Sláinte!
