A 2001 vintage anCnoc single malt from the excellent Knockdhu distillery matured in second fill American oak casks (barrels and hogsheads) and Spanish oak butts.
Brimming with freshly squeezed lemons and ripe blood oranges. Creamy vanilla, ground spices and a touch of new leather follow.
A hint of set lime honey, vanilla and a distinct chocolate presence.
Drifts off slowly with a zesty freshness.

The nose is just divine: think honey, milky sweets and a tiny hint of white chocolate. You won't want to stop smelling it. After a good 15-20 minutes taking-in the nose, the first sip is just the cream on the cake. That whiff of honey turns into a full stream of flavour; not strong enough to overpower the nose, mind. With both a wonderfully delicate nose and delicate flavour, this is highly uncharacteristic of a Highland whisky, and comes in stark contrast to the 2000 Vintage release - an altogether more powerful affair. Without doubt, this one of the most enjoyable anCnocs I've tried to date.
