Ruben, first thing I would like to say is that your blog is perfect and hope, you can continue it for many more years.
And yes, with your help(tasting reviews) I bought a Mannochmore 18yo and it’s a stunning one. Thanks to you.

Again, thanks for your review and my bottle!!

Please, go on with your reviews.

I see. No smoke nor peat and that’s definitely not Taliker.

Jeff, don’t just look at the age to say it’s overpriced. This is a special bottling in many respects. It’s cask-strength, very high quality and really limited (even more so than Brora 30yo). I could give you tons of malts that are older and more expensive but only half as good. At 20% less, I would have bought a whole case.

Charlie, what makes you say that? The spicy pepper maybe? There’s no smoke or peat in this Mannochmore and it’s a lot more fruity than a regular Talisker. It’s quite different.

Great notes Ruben. I agree that this is a great dram (what a nose on this one!), and I’d love to buy a bottle. I just wish it was about 20% less expensive. Plus, they’re not making it available in the U.S.

Sounds like a more powerful Talisker?
