anCnoc 1998
limited edition Vintage release series.
anCnoc
Vintage 1998 is a new addition to
Knockdhu Distillery’s Limited Edition
Vintage release series. Spirit from
American Oak ex-bourbon and ex-sherry
casks, at the optimum level of maturity,
were brought together and bottled in
February 2012 to produce only 850 cases
of this fine Single Malt.
Each year Distillery Manager, Gordon
Bruce, hand selects only a few casks to
showcase the character of the spirit
from each Vintage year. These small
batches of fine Single Malt are a mark
of anCnoc's commitment to hand-crafting
whisky.
This Limited Edition has been bottled in
its most natural form, un-chillfiltered
and at natural colour. It was bottled at
40% ABV which is rare as un-chillfiltered
whisky tends to be bottled at 46% plus. The liquid boasts
fruity overtones on the palate and a
long, warm finish.
