Insider knowledge: anCnoc 12 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be anCnoc 12 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Aromatic, quite robust. Honeysuckle, fresh flowers, cereals, barley. Palate: Medium, good sweetness. Madeira, winter spices, mocha, Crème de Cacao, herbal hints and toasted granary bread. Finish: Medium length, great interplay between oak and barley.
The Master of Malt
A must have
Great complexity, very rewarding dram. There should be a peated version which could beat up Ardbeg!
Sweet, Smoky, Delicious
Nice sweetness upon entry. Good malt backbone here. Great smokiness toward the end. Almost like a sweeter, smoky Glenlivet 12--minus the burn.
