Ancnoc Sherry Cask Finish Peated Edition
Ancnoc Sherry Cask Finish Peated Edition is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Knockdhu Distillery, made to bring together anCnoc’s fruity house style with Aberdeenshire peat and sherry-cask richness. This non-age-stated expression combines peated and non-peated spirit, initially matured in American oak and finished in sherry butts from Jerez.
The whisky is crafted from a combination of Knockdhu’s peated and non-peated spirit. Official anCnoc information states that it first matures in American oak casks before being finished in sherry butts from Jerez, with locally sourced barley smoked using Aberdeenshire peat contributing a sweeter, woodier smoke character.
In the glass it shows a dark amber hue. The aroma layers sweet honey and tropical fruit with cinnamon, rich toffee and delicate campfire smoke. On the palate, toffee apple, warming spice and deep vanilla shape a rich, sweet smoky profile, before a long finish of wood smoke, caramel and vanilla.
This expression suits drinkers who want peat smoke with sweetness rather than an intensely medicinal style. Serve it neat to follow the sherry finish and smoke, or add a few drops of water if you prefer the softer honey, fruit and vanilla notes to open up.
