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.
We were three Odd Fellows who tested a bottle of anCnoc 12 Year Old to-day and we enjoyed it very much. It was mild and with an excellant taste of Madeira, spices and bread crumbs.We had some water beside the whisky glasses. The afternoon was very much appreciated.
had a dram at a friends house,and i thought i was drinking dalwhinnie 15 yr scotch. for a 12 yr old this is very tasty stuff,love to try the 16 yr old. try this scotch you will not be upset,and for the money you can't go wrong. stevie g. boston ,ma scotch nut.
Nice for a summer drink out on the porch, thanks to the fruity and floral notes. For the price (a few bucks more than Glenlivet), I felt like I made out like a bandit. I might get their 16 next time for when I have people I like over. I'll also keep Cutty for the people I don't like.
Thoroughly impressed!
Probably the best Scotch I have ever tasted. Smooth and full of flavour
