Everything you love about Single Malt.
John Morrison found a patch of land rich with barley, Highland spring water, and shallow bogs of dry peat. He smartly grasped the opportunity and bought the Knock Estate from the Duke of Fife, giving birth to the Knockdhu distillery in 1894. With time the methods of production have changed, but their dedication to quality has not. Today they produce a wide range of Single Malts of various styles, ages, and special editions.
AnCnoc 18 YO is sublime. There is just no other way to describe it. It has all the classic elements of Highland Single Malt in one dram … a bit of spice, and bit of sweet, a bit of fruit and some natural peat.
And they age it in a combination of Spanish Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks for a full 18 years. Bottled without any artificial colors or flavors at a full 46% ABV, there is enough lovely flavor and full-bodied taste to spare. You will love the complexity of its layered flavors and rich, viscous texture.
