anCnoc 2000,
a Spanish oak ex-sherry butts and
American oak ex-bourbon barrel matured
limited edition.
 To remind us that anCnoc hasn't gone
completely down the Peaty road with
their limited releases they have
released the latest addition to their
portfolio, the anCnoc 2000 Vintage.
The anCnoc 2000 Vintage is limited to
6,000 bottles and will be available in
the UK, Sweden, Japan and Russia, to
name but a few, from this month with
a retail price of £55 per bottle.
Matured in Spanish oak ex-sherry butts
and American oak ex-bourbon barrels and
bottled just as it should be non
chill-filtered and with no added
artificial colouring, it has a bottling
strength of 46% ABV.
Staying true
to anCnoc style the packaging of the new
limited release single malt mirrors the
minimalist design of anCnoc’s core range
and features the contemporary yet
traditional illustration of the Knockdhu
Distillery.
Earlier this year the Speyside
distillery (although it likes to refer
to itself as a Highland malt) launched the
anCnoc Peaty collection, four
expressions of varying peat strength
giving whisky drinkers a wider choice of
anCnoc styles and giving them a chance
to find a dram to suit their palate and
to ‘shine a light’ on the dark,
enigmatic world of peat. The anCnoc 2000
Vintage is a more familiar style of
anCnoc but with a sherry influence.
anCnoc Assistant Brand Manager,
Stephanie Bridge commented: "The unique
taste portfolio of the vintage 2000 is
set to be a hit with malt enthusiasts
everywhere. Releasing the next vintage in
the anCnoc collection marks the end of a
very exciting spring and summer for the
brand. I’m confident that the exclusive
expression will be a welcome addition to
anyone’s malt collection."
