Difficult to find outside of a few independent bottlers who have recently released some bottles (such as Claxton or Càrn Mòr), Mannochmore has almost no official releases, apart from this 12-year-old launched in 2007 and perhaps a couple of other bottlings in total (notably a Manager’s Dram 18yo from 1997 and another 18-year-old from 2009).
The distillery was built in 1972 and operated alongside Glenlossie until 2007, primarily producing single malt for Diageo’s blends.
The Mannochmore 12 Years Old from the Flora & Fauna series is a single malt Scotch whisky aged for at least 12 years in classic oak casks before being bottled at 43% ABV.
