anCnoc 12 Year Old

Great complexity, very rewarding dram. There should be a peated version which could beat up Ardbeg!

Nice sweetness upon entry. Good malt backbone here. Great smokiness toward the end. Almost like a sweeter, smoky Glenlivet 12--minus the burn.

Lovely aroma, some deep notes, quite woody, but with a sweet rich undertone. Absolutely delicious taste, similar to a Macallan, or even a richer nectar D'or. Slight smokiness, but no obvious peat. V nice!

...imagine what it could be minus caramel, non chill-filtered and bottled at 46%. Imagine...x

The tasting note by the chaps at Masters of Malt is very accurate, particularly the honeysuckle, fresh flowers & cereals, it's one of the most floral whiskies I've come across but one thing I would certainly add to that is citrus fruits. Like most people mention it certainly has complexity but I’ve seen a few reviewers now mention smoke but I really don’t how they can say that because I don't get the slightest bit of smokiness. A very nicely balanced, unique & great tasting whisky at the right price, top stuff.
