    anCnoc Cutter

    Not just another drop in the ocean this - they've been busy brewing (and then distilling) alternatives in the form of peated spirit at Knockdhu for a number of years now, with the latest release being the Cutter - their most heavily peated expression to date (until another hurdle approaches). The phenol content is 20.5 PPM in the bottle and maturation took place in ex-bourbon casks. As with their other peaty releases, it is named after a peat harvesting tool (some of them six foot tall... probably), in this case the Cutter, which is used to cut peat from shallower, drier bogs. The drier peat is easily burnt, producing a whisky with plenty of smoke.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Wafts of iodine, ash and smoke, joined by toffee-dipped peaches and cake-y vanilla sweetness.

    Palate

    A whisky of three halves (that works, right?): you've got the sooty, smoky peat, you've got bundles of apple, peach and orange, and then you've got plenty of creamy vanilla. It's all balanced and blends together well.

    Finish

    Long and oily with smokiness simmering to the end.

    Overall

    We won't spare you the Cutter, it cuts the mustard.

    Not a cut above the rest

    I am a huge islay fan.. and i can honestly say that this is the worst scottish single malt whisky that i have ever tried. Very harsh taste which overwhelms any potential lingering notes. I now only use this bottle for my airlock when brewing beer.

    Great smokey scotch

    Quite a tasty journey, smokey, with a fresh fruity finish. This hits all the marks I am looking for in a scotch whiskey. At the price point, it is a fair value.

    Be careful what you wish for

    very tough & smokey, a bit too much for my liking. Try the the Rutter version which is not as smokey, I enjoy the less harsh taste of rutter

    i dont agree..

    I have taste a hole lot of new smokey whiskey sorts and i am very curious when new tastes are availiby, and therefor, ofcourse i have to taste the Ancnoc Cutter and i can say that i was not disapointed, this whiskey is now one of my favorites, it,s fresch and clear and i am surprised that how long long the taste remain in my mouth, i thougt that this was "like water" how wrong i was, this whiskey is great!! Best Regards Michael

    Very disappointing

    I have been running a social whisky club for the last year and unfortunately this has taken the title of the least favoured dram we have had to date. I was looking forward to it and expecting something good from the sales Pitch I had from our supplier. There isn't much else to say about it.
