Fable Chapter 5- Hound ,mannochmore 11 YO 70CL

Fable Chapter Five: Hound is part of Fable Whisky's acclaimed debut outturn, 'The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay', a series of single cask Scotch whiskies each built around a character from an original myth invented by the independent bottler. This eleven-year-old expression comes from Mannochmore distillery in Speyside, distilled in the early 2010s and matured in a single hogshead cask before being bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration or added colour, in keeping with Fable's purist approach to independent bottling. Mannochmore's typically light, fruit-forward new-make spirit responds well to this style of maturation, developing notes of ripe orchard fruit, honey, malt and delicate oak spice, with a nose that recalls pear, melon and fresh hay, and a palate of mango, vanilla and gentle spice leading to a clean, warming finish. Fable, founded by industry veterans, quickly built a strong following among collectors for the quality of its cask selection and the storytelling that frames each release, with the 'Hound' character from Chapter Five proving one of the series' most repeated and popular editions. As an independently bottled single cask release, quantities are strictly limited, making this a genuinely collectible expression for whisky enthusiasts seeking something beyond standard distillery bottlings.
