Cadenhead Mannochmore 2013 12 Year 92 Proof 700ml

Distilled at Mannochmore in 2013 and bottled by Scotland’s oldest independent bottler after 12 years of maturation, this 92 proof expression showcases everything that makes Speyside’s most underrated distillery worth seeking out. William Cadenhead Limited — founded in 1842 and now part of the Springbank family — is celebrated for sourcing exceptional individual casks, adding nothing and changing nothing from cask to bottle.

Mannochmore Distillery sits in the heart of Speyside near Elgin, built in 1971 alongside the historic Glenlossie Distillery, sharing infrastructure and originally created to supply malt for blending. Today, independent bottlings like this one give whisky lovers a rare chance to taste it unfiltered and unadulterated.

Known for producing light, floral, and fruity whisky, this 12-year-old bottling reveals notes of Parma violet sweets, kiwi fruit, gooseberries, and white pepper — a vibrant, aromatic profile that rewards both the seasoned Scotch collector and the curious newcomer.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) without chill filtration or added color, this is Mannochmore in its most honest form: delicate yet complex, bright yet layered.
