This lip-smacking 12yo AnCnoc, (formerly known as Knockdhu to avoid confusion with the nearby Knockando distillery) is a top quality whisky of the non-sherried Speyside style, exhibiting a gentle, non-sherried style of whisky.
Known as a must-have in any whisky drinker’s collection, it’s light and yet complex. Smooth yet challenging.
And each twist and turn delivers a surprise. In fact, this is a dram that has something for everyone.
Nose: Aromatic and relatively robust. Honeysuckle, fresh flowers, dried fruits, cereals and barley.
Palate: Medium with a good amount of sweetness. Madeira, warming winter spices, mocha, Crème de Cacao, some herbal hints and toasted granary bread.
Finish: Medium length with a great interplay between oak and barley.
