anCnoc 18-Year-Old – A Refined Highland Classic

The anCnoc 18-Year-Old is a beautifully crafted Highland single malt whisky, aged to perfection in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Produced at the Knockdhu Distillery, this whisky is a stunning example of how traditional whisky-making techniques can create a dram that is both elegant and full of depth.

Matured for nearly two decades, this expression balances rich sherried sweetness with Highland freshness, making it a versatile and rewarding sip. The nose is immediately inviting, offering layers of dried fruit, honey, vanilla, and warm spices, alongside delicate hints of oak and dark chocolate.

On the palate, the anCnoc 18 reveals a wonderfully rich and velvety texture, unfolding notes of toffee, caramelized orange peel, and Christmas cake, complemented by spiced oak, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper. The influence of the sherry-seasoned oak casks is unmistakable, bringing an indulgent dark fruit richness that lingers beautifully.

The finish is long, warming, and subtly spiced, leaving traces of dried apricots, cocoa, and gentle oak smoke. This is a whisky that balances complexity with approachability, making it perfect for both seasoned whisky lovers and those exploring aged single malts.

A fantastic choice for collectors and connoisseurs, the anCnoc 18-Year-Old is a must-have for those who appreciate a well-rounded Highland whisky with sherried elegance and a lingering, sophisticated finish.
