Berry Bros & Rudd 2010 Mannochmore Single Malt
Quite mineral, grassy and malty on the nose as the fruit notes emerge. There is a green edge of lime and kiwi, apple and a little peppery edge. The palate builds well with more in the way of lemon zest, buttered toast and white pepper. Lingering and balanced in a refined manner. Mannochmore located just south of Elgin was built in 1971 as an addition to the Glenlossie distillery site and intended to produce spirit for Diageo’s Haig blends in times of need.
Berry Bros & Rudd 2011 Balmenach Cask No. 121 12 Year Old 54.4%
Balmenach Distillery can be found at Cromdale, one of the crossing points on the upper stretches of the River Spey. Like many malt whiskies, very little is bottled as single malt, especially older examples. At first sniff, zesty and grassy notes rise out the glass followed by vibrant green fruits and orange. The palate is wonderfully citrusy, with tangy Granny Smith apples and a pleasing dollop of spirit sulphur. The finish brings grilled lime, barley sweets and a touch of hay. This is a thoroughly pleasing, distillate driven dram.
