AnCnoc 18 Years 40% 700ml

This distillery uses a variety of casks – butts and hogheads in Spanish oak and barrels and hogheads in American oak – to produce a light, but complex, whisky. Both modern and classic, AnCnoc’s official bottling stands out on the one hand for its extremely distinctive packaging – see the Peter Arckle vintages, the labels and tubes of which have been created by the artist of the same name – and on the other hand for the alcohol content which is often higher than average, as well as for its numerous dated vintages. A forward-thinking whisky with deep respect for tradition!

Colour: Bronzed amber

Nose: Gentle spices and intense sweetness of dried fruits are topped with chocolate, ripe oranges and oiled leather

Taste: Full-bodied and bold, aromatic spices, fruit loaf and candied lemon are followed by a surge of vanilla, honey and caramel. The finish transforms from peppery and hot to deliciously sweet and smooth.
