anCnoc add an
18 year old expression to there
expanding range.
 anCnoc
have announced a new addition to
their core range of whiskies, the anCnoc
18 year old. There will initially be
6000 bottles of the anCnoc 18 year old
available worldwide with more to follow.
Matured in a combination of hand picked
Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American
oak ex-bourbon casks which anCnoc says has resulted in a single malt which is
bursting with oriental spices and
toasted vanilla, with a full bodied
taste and a surge of honey and caramel
to finish. Bottled as we like it, in its
most natural form, non chill-filtered,
natural colour at 46% ABV the new whisky
has an RRP of £70.
The packaging stays true to anCnoc’s
trademark minimalistic style, featuring
an artful depiction of the landscape
surrounding the Knockdhu distillery
where anCnoc is produced.
anCnoc Assistant Brand Manager,
Stephanie Bridge commented: "2014 has
been anCnoc’s most ambitious year to
date. We unveiled our new Peaty
Collection in April, two new expressions
for Global Travel Retail and our hugely
popular 2000 Vintage. We are confident
that our new anCnoc 18 years old will be
extremely popular amongst single malt
aficionados with its unique taste
profile and striking packaging."
The anCnoc 18 year old tops off a busy
year of releases for anCnoc where
earlier this year we were treated
to the
anCnoc
2000 Vintage which
coincidentally anCnoc also described as
exhibiting oriental spices and toasted
vanilla which is no surprise as it was
also matured in Spanish oak ex-sherry
casks and American oak ex-bourbon casks.
There was also the superb
limited release
anCnoc Peaty
Collection whiskies of Rutter,
Flaughter and Tushkar which were
recently joined by
anCnoc Cutter.
As I said a busy year for anCnoc which
has seen them release some excellent
whiskies.
