Knockdhu renamed their whiskies anCnoc to avoid confusion with the nearby Knockando distillery. This 12 year old exhibits a gentle, non-sherried style of whisky.
Aromatic, quite robust. Honeysuckle, fresh flowers, cereals, barley.
Medium, good sweetness. Madeira, winter spices, mocha, Crème de Cacao, herbal hints and toasted granary bread.
Medium length, great interplay between oak and barley.
This reminds me of jakemans honey and lemon menthol sweets, and that's a good thing. Slightly medicinal, a honey sweetness and a touch of citrus, very nice indeed, certainly a distillery I'll be taking a second look at.
The first single malt I ever purchased...it was recommended to me based on its balance and would say thats accurate after finishing the bottle. I consider the finish to be very crisp, and think there are apple notes in addition to those mentioned by MoM.
Not the worst scotch I ever had, but the slightly medicinal aftertaste was a big turn off. Based on the reviews, perhaps I got a bad batch bottling.
Евгений из Украины - That's easy for you to say!
Прекрасный солод!!!!!!!!!! Вкус: мед. Чистый мед без каких либо нюансов (где там люди видят задымленность и торф не знаю) похож на Dalwhinnie 15, но без хересной нотки, присущей последнему. Один из моих САМЫХ любимых.
