anCnoc
unveils 'Warehouses' the last instalment
in the Peter Arkle series.
 anCnoc
has
revealed the final design in the series
of Limited Edition releases from its
unique collaboration with
internationally renowned Scottish
illustrator, Peter Arkle.
This final release in this limited
edition series was inspired by the
warehouses at Knockdhu Distillery, the
striking and contemporary design is
rooted in Peter's idea that the
buildings are guarding the magic - and
not just the whisky - hidden inside
them. He believes that anCnoc would not
be anCnoc without these historic
buildings and so, for the first time,
they take pride of place in the design
of anCnoc's packaging.
The anCnoc partnership with Arkle was
launched last year and has seen the
artist develop an exclusive range of
limited edition designs based on aspects
of Knockdhu Distillery - each with a
different expression inside the bottle.
These bold and fresh designs range from
a bottle inspired by whisky’s fifth
ingredient, ‘magic’; to showcasing the
distillery’s charming character through
an intricate interpretation of its
bricks; to an evocative black and white
illustration of anCnoc’s whisky casks.
The New York-based illustrator said: "I
have really enjoyed working with anCnoc
as a collaborative partner throughout
the limited edition campaign. The whole
project has been inspiring and a great
creative challenge, and I’m delighted
with the four finished products. My
illustrations aim to capture how special
and full of character anCnoc whisky is,
and I couldn’t have done my job without
the inspiration of the Knockdhu
Distillery and its team. I hope anCnoc
drinkers have enjoyed seeing all the
designs roll out over the past two years
as much as I have loved creating them."
As with all the Peter Arkle editions,
the liquid inside is as remarkable as
the design. The final expression is a
polished gold colour, with the scent of
cut flowers and lemon meringue followed
by a rich and firm-textured finish of
dried fruit and caramel.
Gillian Gibson, anCnoc Brand Manager
commented: "anCnoc has always been
regarded as giving whisky drinkers a
very contemporary experience of the
tradition of malt whisky drinking and
this final design by Peter really lives
up to this promise. It's a great way to
end such a special partnership and we're
extremely proud of our four limited
editions and the success they have
enjoyed. It has been wonderful working
with Peter and his designs have
perfectly captured anCnoc's modern side
with a nod to its time-honoured
traditions."
Limited to 1000 cases, this limited
edition will be available online and
through specialist whisky retailers in
the UK as well as across the globe in
the USA, Germany, Russia, Japan, Taiwan
and Canada with a RRP of £49.99
