Only crafted for a few short years in the mid 1990s this amazing “black velvet” quickly acquired a cult following and unopened bottles are becoming increasingly difficult to find with prices rising fast. Loch Dhu was distilled in the Mannochmore distillery, which lies in the heart of Scotland's "Speyside" region. There has been a distillery on this site going back to 1876. It takes its water from the Bardon Burn high up on Mannochmore hills. The unique Loch Dhu taste and appearance was created by aging the malt in special, double-charred oak casks. Charring the casks twice enhances Loch Dhu's distinct black colour, and its smooth, slightly sweet flavour. Look for a slightly smoky nose with clean layered aromas of sweet malts and notes of ripe fruit and honey. The whisky has a dry, balanced and complex finish.   Patiently rested in charred sweet oak casks to create an experience as black as night, with a rich velvety taste. Savour the smooth. Intense flavour and discover hidden complexities in this unique black whisky. A bottle of Loch Dhu would make a fantastic and unusual gift. Imagine the recipients quandary, do I succumb to temptation and open it to savour the velvety taste, dark as night colour and that amazing peaty smoky aroma, or should I keep it as an investment?
