ManX spirit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ManX Spirit is a clear whisky which is distilled by Kella Distillers Ltd. in a small distillery in Sulby, Isle of Man. Manx in the name refers to the fact that the product comes from the Isle of Man.
There are two types of ManX Spirit, 'ManX Red' and 'ManX Blue'. ManX Red is distilled from blended whisky which is aged at least 5 years. ManX Blue is distilled from pure malt whisky aged at least 5 years that has undergone a unique intensification process which involves the removal some of the neutral alcohol during the distillation process, this gives the product an intense flavour to the drink. ManX is matured in oak casks.
Many consider ManX Spirit not to be a true whisky, because it is colourless, although it tastes and smells similar to one. However, because of this, it can be used in cocktails without discolouring them.
ManX Spirit is comes in square, glass bottles and has an alcohol level of 40% by volume.
