This latest limited-edition, which showcases the heritage and skill of Knockdhu’s (the home of anCnoc) small distillery team, is said to deliver notes of spice, wood, honey and citrus notes on the nose. Followed by notes of rich spice, sweet green apple, dark chocolate and butterscotch on the palate.
Commenting on the news, Gordon Bruce, Knockdhu Distillery
Manager, said: “We’ve been waiting twelve years for this vintage and it has
definitely been worth the wait. This is a dram that has all the light, fresh
qualities of anCnoc that are so loved by our drinkers, but there’s also a rich
spiciness and complexity from its time in the casks.”
Gordon went onto say: “It’s always a joy to release a new
whisky out into the world. I’m particularly proud that the character of this
new vintage captures the way we do things at Knockdhu, and the traditions we
hold dear, yet it still tastes like a very modern single malt. anCnoc 2009
Vintage will be a real treat for whisky drinkers looking for something a little
bit different to explore, or as a special addition to the Christmas list of
anyone who appreciates a well-crafted single malt.”
anCnoc 2009 Vintage, will be available later this month from
specialist retailers, for a RRP of £50.00.
