anCnoc 24 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 24 Years Old Country: Scotland
Knockdhu distillery sits in Knock, Aberdeenshire, with this specific location selected to take advantage of the many springs of crystal clear Scottish water. Construction began in 1893, and completed in 1894 where production began in October of that year. The distillery still utilises two tradition pot stills, with the warehouses retaining the traditional earthen floors. It has changed hands several times over the years, however, was purchased by Inverhouse Distillers in 1983, the current owners of the distillery. This whisky used to be called Knockdhu after the distillery where it was produced; but the trading name was changed in 1994 to anCnoc, to avoid confusion with Knockando. anCnoc means ‘the hill’ in Gaelic.
The whisky enjoys its time maturing in ex-bourbon barrels allowing it to adapt some caramel and vanilla notes before enjoying some maturation in ex-sherry which delivers a dark nutty, rich note to this flavoursome spirit. It has been bottled at 46%, unchil-filtered and natural colour. A Single Malt that makes every sip a special occasion.
