anCnoc is Scottish Gaelic for 'the hill', which, in English is rendered 'Knockdhu' and should not be confused with the other distillery 'Knockando'. The brand decided to market itself under the label anCnoc to avoid confusion. Knockdhu is located in the Eastern Highlands not far from the town of Keith. In more recent years the whisky has been marketed heavily as a single malt, though for most of its life it has been primarily produced for blends like Haig. 40%
700 mlProducer's Tasting Note:
Nose: Honey rolls in, lemon cuts through. Vanilla hangs back, but it’s there.
Taste: Green apple leads the charge, then a catch of something zesty. In the back, a thrum of spice that keeps on going.

Bottled at 43% after maturing in ex-Bourbon casks!

We didn't want to like this one. Let's face it, the price is high for a distillery that isn't on most folks' radar. But then we tried it. And, well... it's on our shelves. That should tell you all you need to know. Only a couple bottles available. Move fast. Trust us, you want this one.
351 bottles from a refill barrel. Currently sitting at 90.00 pts on Whiskybase.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at a natural cask strength of 46.6% abv.

Producer Note
"This is a single refill hogshead of 2006 16 year old Knockdhu. It's also very peaty and quite ridiculously pale, pure and razor-sharp. A singular and almost ideological style of whisky. The original cask strength of this one was up over 67%. Once we'd found a glass that didn't dissolve on contact with the sample, we played around with water and various strengths for ages before settling on 55% as delivering the most balance between raw peat ashes, frothy seawater, lemon juice drizzled directly over your tonsils and having pickled green olives fired at you from a blunderbuss. Why not sip it casually while playing a few rounds of BogSponge3000 down the arcade..."

Peat and sherry is like PB&J to most peat lovers. The union creates a multidimensional whisky that becomes something more than the sum of its parts. Finding malts in this style is getting harder and harder. Great price on this anCnoc that was first matured in American Oak Barrels and Hoggies, before finishing in Sherry Butts.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
