Complex

A nose of fresh gourse, bright and lively with the characteristic An Cnoc gingeryness, water reveals floral notes.

To taste it's cool, sweet, slightly peppery with a creamy, light swallow.

The finish has a powerful start, reveals Parma violets and is ultimately very pleasing.

Good neat or with water which gives even more power and vanilla.

A very well balanced dram on nose and taste with the An Cnoc style and power of a Big Hairy Highlander.

Round and mellow on the nose with citrus fruits and vanilla (Yankee oak) and liquorice (allsorts).

The mouth experience is sensational, immediately spreading to all parts in excellent balance, a significant pause then a huge warmth with a typical An Cnoc ginger swallow reminiscent of the fabled 21yo.

A very long hot spicy finish.

Ace whisky suited for a Clynelish fan or similar.

An unchill-filtered version bottled in 2007

Long awaited follow up to our former bottling of the year, Knockdhu 23yo (same distillery, new name).

An Ace! Round and woody - but not too much, a nose including eucalyptus, green bananas and - is that kerosene? Jolly good anyway. On the tongue it is round, tangy chocolate, warming and all enjoyable, very well balanced on all the senses. Beautiful. A long chocolate finish, very long. Ace.
