Mannochmore 2010 16 Year Old - Finn Thomson Cask #3038

This Mannochmore 2010 16 Year Old is a distinctive single cask Scotch whisky bottled by Finn Thomson. Distilled on 23 March 2010 and bottled on 19 May 2026, this limited release was matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel before being bottled at a natural 53.2% ABV. Just 256 bottles were produced from Cask #3038.

The decision to bottle this cask was made in one of the most remote settings imaginable. While staying at Ben Alder Cottage with Czech importer Lukáš Souček, Finn Thomson was snowed in by Storm Dave. With the weather raging outside and a bothy fire providing some warmth, a sample of the Mannochmore was opened. In that moment, everything came together - the cask simply felt ready.

16 Years in First-Fill Bourbon Oak

The first-fill bourbon barrel has given this Mannochmore an expressive combination of creamy vanilla, soft oak and buttery texture. The active bourbon oak adds richness and depth while allowing the fresh fruit character of the distillery to remain at the heart of the whisky.

Rather than allowing the cask to dominate, the bourbon maturation works in harmony with the spirit. The result is a vibrant yet refined Mannochmore with an appealing balance between fresh fruit character, creamy sweetness and mature oak.

A Single Cask Chosen by Instinct

For Finn Thomson, selecting a cask is about recognising when the spirit and wood have reached the right point together. This Mannochmore stood out in the remote surroundings of Ben Alder, where a simple tasting around the bothy fire confirmed that the whisky had reached the point at which it was ready to share.

Mannochmore 2010 16 Year Old Finn Thomson Cask #3038 offers whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to experience a limited single cask release where first-fill bourbon maturation enhances rather than masks the character of the spirit.
