From the heart of Speyside, the Tri Carragh Mannochmore 11 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky captures the lush, green vibrancy of its region with finesse and flair. Distilled on April 15, 2014, and matured in a second-fill bourbon barrel, this rare single cask release is limited to just 236 bottles, offering a unique expression of Mannochmore’s character. Bottled at a cask strength of 52.4%, it delivers a rich and unfiltered depth that speaks directly to the enthusiast.

On the nose, it’s a lively fruit medley—think tinned fruit salad with green grapes and ripe strawberries stewing in their own syrup. Hints of freshly cut grass and delicate vanilla add nuance, setting the stage for a layered palate. The first sip brings a syrupy sweetness that coats the tongue, gradually unfolding into cinnamon spice, smooth vanilla, and poached pear. A few drops of water awaken even more complexity, with zesty lemon joining creamy notes reminiscent of vanilla slice pastries.

Enjoyed neat, it showcases the full power of its cask strength; with water, it reveals a softer, more intricate bouquet. This 11-year-old single malt is a spirited tribute to Speyside’s elegant style, ideal for seasoned Scotch lovers looking to explore a vibrant and limited edition bottling from Mannochmore.
