Mannochmore

A modern Speyside distillery built in 1971 alongside its older neighbor Glenlossie, sharing the same water source and site. Produces a light, floral, grassy Speyside malt that feeds principally into Haig blends and Diageo's blending portfolio. Perhaps most famous (or infamous) for Loch Dhu -- 'The Black Whisky' -- a 10-year-old matured in double-charred casks that produced an almost black-colored whisky, released in 1996 and quickly discontinued but now a collector's curiosity. The Flora & Fauna 12-year-old is the standard official bottling. Mannochmore represents the workhorse blending malts that sustain Scotland's whisky industry -- rarely glamorous, always essential.
