    Mannochmore

    Until the current whisky boom, Mannochmore was the product of the previous boom and a relative newcomer having been founded in 1971. Situated in the bustling Speyside town of Elgin, the distillery is next door to Diageo’s Glenlossie distillery. Much like the distillery building, Mannochmore’s history is rather uneventful and uninspiring. Mothballed in the 1980s, it didn’t make its single malt debut until 1992 when it appeared in the Flora & Fauna series. A handful of limited releases have followed since, but Mannochmore remains an enigma to many. Destined for blends, including Haig, the distillery is a sizeable producer and has limited support from independent bottlers – some releases have been very suggestive of quality and a need to explore further.
