Whisky Focus - anCnoc 12 Year Old Wins Gold At IWSC 2016

Gold Medal for anCnoc 12 at International Wine & Spirit Competition 2016.

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky anCnoc has announced that its popular 12 year old expression from its core range has won Gold at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2016.

anCnoc’s 12 year old is renowned amongst whisky drinkers around the world as being soft and aromatic on the nose, with hints of anCnoc’s signature flavour notes of honey and lemon, resulting in a long smooth finish. The gentle amber colouring comes from its maturation in American oak ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso casks, which deliver a fantastic flavour profile with a surprise at each twist and turn.

Stephanie Allison, Brand Manager for anCnoc commented "We’re thrilled to announce that our 12 year old has been recognised within the industry as a Gold winner at the IWSC Awards. Creating the finest whisky possible is at the heart of everything we do at anCnoc, so winning such a prestigious award within a global competition is a great way to share our achievements and reward our dedicated distillery teams for all their hard work.”"

Now in its 47th year, the International Wine & Spirit Competition aims to award excellence to wines and spirits across the world and sets the international benchmark for quality. This year, the competition received entries from over 90 countries which were judged by over 400 global experts judging products for 7 months of the year.
