Country Scotch Whisky
Distillery/Brand Knockdhu
Style Single Malt Whisky

anCnoc 12

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

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.

I've been really good, can I have

Reviews for anCnoc 12 Year Old
The 'Nippy Sweety'
anCnoc,what a lovely piece of work,when I phoned up as having issues with my basket,I was told in no uncertain terms that it was over 40 pounds a bottle and the price displayed was wrong and would be corrected,yet here it is still at 31 pounds,

Sits somewhere between 4 and 4.5 stars
Mainly because the price here in Australia started to creep up to Bunna 12, Clynelish 14, Tobermory 12 etc. On the nose and palate is like chamomile tea with tablespoon of honey in it. Very sweet and smooth. If it remained at the price I got it originally, 4.5 stars easily. But now I can say Bladnoch 11 would easily blow this out of the water for few extra bucks in all segments - i.e complexity, ABV, presentation etc.

Excellent whisky, excellent value
If you haven't tried this whisky, then you should give it a go. Simply one of the best 12 year olds out there and at under £30 it's a no-brainer. It's fruity and smooth and goes down a treat. I would love to see this at 46% - but, then, we can't have everything, can we?

A nice surprise
I have just bought this 12yr old for the first time and I am blown away by the incredible amount of smell and flavour packed into this whisky. There is butterscotch, vanilla, and orchard fruit on the nose and the same on the palate with toffee, lemon and a long finish with a touch of smoke. If I had tasted this blind I would guess it would have been 43-44% abv instead of 40 and just £30 !! . Can’t wait to try the 18 now.

A poor man's MacAllan
I was recommended this as a cheaper alternative to the Macallan 12 year old double cask - a cheap immatation. Not terrible but not a lot to write home about.
