Claxton's Mannochmore 7 year old Oloroso Hogshead, 50%

Price: 116 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Quite light on the nose, with dried fruit, honey, vanilla, and plum jam dropped into rice pudding. This is a good choice if your palate favors the sweeter, fruity Speyside style, as this whisky abounds with melon, yellow pear, raspberry, and citrus peel, with base notes of pepper grinding away the tongue, bringing in rum-raisin fudge and baked apple sweetness that follow into the finish. (24 bottles)
