Mannochmore 11YO Australian Tawny finish

This one began with a great cask of Mannochmore Single Malt distilled in 2013 and matured 11 years in ex bourbon barrel. Wanting to add something fun from fond memories of Tasmanian distillery visits, it was transferred it to an Australian Tawny Fortified Wine Cask for 6 months. Here it took on a light creaminess, touch of beeswax and a little pine, along with tropical and dried fruit notes.

The resulting whisky has a lovely mix of both cask character and distillate. This one is fun, fruity and balanced. It holds the daytime version of artworks created by Liam Palermo for this Outturn II, which felt a perfect fit for a dram so well suited to a summer day.

192 bottles at 49.8%.

“Pineapple, stewed apple, juicy strawberry, marshmallows, oak spice and vanilla pods. On the palate rhubarb and custard with a touch of resin and a little waxy/oily character. Fruity, tropical and smooth.”
