This particular bottling from Knockdhu distillery is a lovely 24 year old expression. Named not after the distillery but the nearby hill (anCnoc literally meaning "the hill" in Scottish Gaelic). Despite the distillery just been inside the eastern borders of the Speyside region; its branded as Highland Single Malt due to its taste profile been more attuned to your traditional Highland whisky. Expect a quality dram with this one.

AnCnoc 24 Year Old Tasting Notes:

Nose

Densely sweet and spicy with a cosy embrace of Christmas cake. Rich yet crisp with notes of vanilla, set toffee and lemon juice.

Palate

Spiciness continues with hints of candied orange slices, warm honey and worn leather filling the mouth with a symphony of maturity.

Finish

Medium to long, tanned leather with developing citrus and pepper notes towards the end.

A Word About anCnoc

The story of the Knockdhu distillery starts with a man of vision (who also had an eye for a good investment). In 1892 an enterprising chap named, John Morrison, bought the Knock estate. The surrounding land was full of peat and barley and the Great North Railway line ran nearby. So when springs of pure, clear water were found, John saw a golden opportunity.Samples of the water were sent for analysis and soon negotiations were under way with The Distillers Company of Edinburgh to build a distillery.Knockdhu opened its doors in October 1894. Back then it was regarded as the perfect embodiment of a modern distillery. So it’s perhaps no surprise that they still produce a light, intriguing and thoroughly modern whisky to this day.The methods used to make anCnoc have hardly changed in over 100 years, and ironically it's these traditional techniques which help to create the distinctive, modern flavour.

My 1st over 18yr old single malt and it did not disappoint. Very subtle but complex on the palate with nice sweet and sour contrast. Not what I was expecting but having now gone beyond neck pours, I am really enjoying this one. Takes time to open up both from the bottle, and in the glass.
