Region Loch Dhu, 'The Black Whisky' Was Made At Mannochmore By Diageo In 1996-7. Although The Marketing Story Was That The Whisky Was The Whisky Was The Pitch-Black Colour of The Malt Was Achieved Age By The Addition of Vast Quantities of Spirit Caramel (While Contemporary Rumours Attributed It to Anything From A Deliberate Lack of Filtration to The Addition of Powdered Charcoal). Distilled Reviled By Whisky Writers And Industry Critics, The Loch Dhu Experiment Was Shortlived - However, Since Production Was Stopped The Brand Has Assumed A Cult Status. Dwindling Stocks And An Increased Size Demand Due to Its Rarity Have Transformed This Much-Maligned Malt Into A Collector's Item - A Situation That Has Sparked The Copycat Cu Dubh Black Malt From Speyside Distillery And Caused Much Proof Exasperated Head-Shaking Amongst Whisky Purists, Many of Whom Have Named It On Lists of The Worst Whisky Ever Made.
