Mannochmore

Mannochmore Distillery is just south of Elgin in Morayshire, in the heart of the Speyside. The distillery not only shares a location, but also a water source - the Bardon Burn - with the Glenlossie distillery. However, the Mannochmore site is considerably larger; the three pairs of stills have a total combined output of 3.22 million liters per year and 200,000 aging casks. Nevertheless most of the space is  used to store alcohol in maturation from other distilleries and for cereal processing (hop and beer bagasse).

Until 1989, most of the whiskey produced will be used for blends, including the very popular Haig's Blend at the time. Many blends are still produced for brands (like Johnnie Walker) or vintages from renowned distillers: Douglas Laing, Gordon & MacPhail, to name but a few. Mannochmore made a name for itself in 1996 when it launched Loch Dhu, the black whisky. The very dark spirits was mixed with caramel. The item itself was impressive but not very popular outside of Denmark. Its production stopped quickly and collectors are now scouring the world for the few remaining bottles.
