anCnoc 18 Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

anCnoc 18 is the Knockdhu distillery's mature statement — eighteen years in Spanish oak ex-sherry and American oak ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 46% without chill filtration. John Morrison built Knockdhu on Knock Hill in Banffshire in 1894 from local grey granite, with spring water from the hill and worm-tub condensers that give the spirit weight; Inver House bought it in 1988 and rebranded the whisky anCnoc, Gaelic for the hill, to end the confusion with Knockando. The 18 is a marriage of sherry and bourbon casks aged eighteen years and bottled at 46%, non-chill-filtered — the proof the 12 doesn't get. Expect the anCnoc apple-and-honey signature deepened by sherry and time: a nose of honey, vanilla, and citrus with dried fruit, spice, and oak; a rich, silky palate of toffee, dried fruit, toasted oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove with a faint smokiness underneath; and a long, warm, gently spiced finish. Best Shot Whisky and Distiller's reviewers rank it well above the 12 for depth. Honest note: eighteen-year Highland malt at 46% and this price is a quiet bargain from a distillery nobody markets — for the Glenmorangie 18 drinker who wants a lesser-known name, and the gift that reads as serious. Neat. anCnoc, eighteen years.
