De anCnoc 12 jaar is bekend over de hele wereld. Een must-have in elke whisky collectie, hij is licht en toch complex. Soepel maar toch uitdagend. En elke slok levert een verrassing.

Dit is een top-kwaliteit voorbeeld van de niet-sherried Speyside stijl, het laat een gepolijste malt zien met een heerlijke kruidigheid in een warme, complexe smaak en langdurige afdronk.

Proefnotitie

An Cnoc 12 yo (40%, OB)
Nose: Barely noticeable phenols with subtle oak and dried fruit accompanied by hints of lime and barley sugars. Rounded and silky initially, but with time develops into a more robust and malty nose. Candied Mackintosh apples threaten to overpower an almost too delicate frame.
Palate: Whiff of initial oak smoke which quickly give way to vibrant, effervescent citruses that play havoc with the sides of the tongue. Heftier than expected, but not overpowering. Barley sugar follows from the nose, with honey, green pear and star fruits providing a succulent and juicy mouth feel.
Finish: Rapidly drying, leaving a soft lemon and barley sugar taste in the mouth. Surprisingly short, but in a refreshing kind of a way.

Founded in 1894, by John Morrison who bought the land from the Duke of Fife, following the discovery of several springs on the southern slope of Knock Hill. The distillery was built using the local eye catching grey granite. It was also the first malt distillery built for the Distillers Company Ltd. It remained in continuous operation until 1931, when it was forced to close for a few years due to the economic depression. Wartime restrictions on barley forced a second closure from 1940-1945.

After the war, with the distillery connected to the national grid, the steam powered engine, which had been used since the its founding, was retired in 1947.

Knockdhu was closed in 1983, but was sold to Inver House in 1988, production resumed in February 1989. Various bottling ages are available the most popular being 12 years old, there is also an annual vintage bottled around 14–15 years old, a 16 year old (matured solely in second fill bourbon casks) and a 30 year old. Previously named Knockdhu after the distillery, it was renamed anCnoc in 1994 to avoid confusion with Knockando.

anCnoc is a Gaelic word meaning 'the hill'.
