Amber Room Review

Manager's Dram Mannochmore 1997 18 Years Old 66%

15 October 2026
89

Definitely the highest ABV whisky I've ever tried

Nose

Sweet fresh tropical fruits, honey, caramel

Body

Very punchy, sweet, perhaps overly sweet, a bit oily and waxy, gets really spicy but overall not as overwhelming as I would expect from a 66% whisky, spices; would recommend either giving it time or water for it to mellow down a notch or two, with water it is much more enjoyable

Finish

Spices, slightly perfumy and floral finish, the spiciness lingers
