Originally the Knockdhu distillery and in 1993 renamed AnCnoc. AnCnoc peat harvesting tool collection refers to the tools used in harvesting the peat used in making whisky. The Rutter, in this case, is used to cut the peat into squares and out of the ground. This is a peaty whisky but as far as peaty whiskies go it is still quite subtle and is known as a good introduction to peaty whiskies.
Nose : Initially very smoky, it quickly unveils the unmistakable AnCnoc character with delicate spices, juicy pineapples, pear drops and gentle vanilla. Rich and warming.
Palate : Full-bodied and bursting with peaty richness. Soft undertones of honey, creamy vanilla, toffee and leather are punctuated by the freshness of green apples.
