The signature vanilla flavor of bourbon dominates here, and every sip of Mannochmore 13 Year Old Finn Thomson takes you back to his childhood at the Bridge of Allan where he grew up. Eat vanilla ice cream at the Allan Water Cafe.

Mannochmore is a distillery that produces an extremely light style of whiskey, but overactive barrels can easily overwhelm the spirit. Therefore, carefully selected casks are needed to bring out the best of this light and gentle distillate.

Today, whiskey drinkers often overlook the humble bourbon cask in pursuit of rich sherry or peated malt whiskeys. However, it is estimated that nearly 90% of Scotch whiskey uses wood that was once used to mature bourbon. As a result, it is becoming increasingly popular for drinkers and producers alike to look for alternative cask types to stand out.

However, this light style is a perfect match for the carefully selected bourbon barrels. This whiskey showcases the best of a whiskey style that is often overlooked but deserves more praise when done well.
