This translated from the Gaelic \u2018Cnoc Dubh\u2019 which means \u2018black hill\u2019. The name anCnoc was chosen as the current owners, Inver House, deemed Knockdhu too similar to Knockando and relabelled it to avoid confusion. AnCnoc simply means \u2018the hill\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/distilleries\/auchroisk-whisky-distillery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Auchroisk: Pronounced \u201cAwk-roysk\u201d<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the trickiest distillery names there is.

The first Islay whisky distillery built in 120 years was named after the parish where the distillery is located on the west coast of Islay. The word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kil<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often refers to a church in Gaelic, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choman <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">likely refers to a local figure or saint. Thus, Kilchoman may mean &#8220;Church of Choman.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/distilleries\/edradour-whisky-distillery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Edradour: Pronounced: &#8220;Edra-dow-er&#8221;<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes mispronounced as &#8220;Edra-door&#8221;, Edradour is derived from Gaelic, with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> potentially meaning &#8220;between two waters&#8221; and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dour <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meaning &#8220;stream&#8221; or &#8220;water.&#8221; The distillery is located in the village of Edradour near Pitlochry in the Highlands and was founded in 1825.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34321\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34321\" class=\"size-large wp-image-34321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Glenfarclas-Distillery-mountain-background-1024x704.jpg\" alt=\"How to pronounce Glenfarclas\" width=\"770\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Glenfarclas-Distillery-mountain-background-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Glenfarclas-Distillery-mountain-background-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Glenfarclas-Distillery-mountain-background-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Glenfarclas-Distillery-mountain-background.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Have you been saying this right?
