Once-in-a-lifetime competition launched
to celebrate latest anCnoc Limited
Edition Peter Arkle release.
 anCnoc Highland Single Malt Scotch
Whisky has unveiled its third Limited
Edition Peter Arkle release.
The striking and distinctive packaging
from the New York-based Scottish artist
takes its inspiration from the thick,
brick walls of anCnoc’s Knockdhu
Distillery’s dunnage warehouses.
Internationally-acclaimed illustrator
Peter Arkle said:
"I have loved working with anCnoc and am
very proud of our latest limited
edition. The distillery at Knock is such
a great place and I had a fantastic time
visiting there. This particular
illustration for me really shows a
complex thought in a very simple way. On
one hand it's just a drawing of the
bricks that make up the walls of the
distillery and the warehouses with a
yellow sign stuck on. But, on the other
hand, those bricks are so old and so
soaked with the essences of anCnoc
–absorbed over the years – that they are
not just any old bricks. They are bricks
with real character and history. And the
sign is there to remind people that
anCnoc is not something you can take for
granted. One must handle something
remarkable with care."
The anCnoc Peter Arkle Bricks edition is
non-chill filtered, natural colour and
bottled at 46% ABV.
The liquid has anCnoc’s signature honey
and lemon notes and has a spicy taste
with notes of citrus, sherry and dark
chocolate.
Strictly limited to only 1000 cases,
this Limited Edition will be available
online and through specialist retailers
in the UK as well as across the globe in
the USA, Germany, Russia, Japan, Taiwan
and Canada.
Once-in-a-lifetime Competition.
To mark this unique collaboration,
anCnoc is offering 10 fans the chance to
win a personally illustrated bottle of
anCnoc in a Twitter contest. By Tweeting
in a picture of how they enjoy their
whisky, 10 of the entries will be chosen
by Peter and hand-drawn before being
transposed onto a label and tube of
anCnoc.
Gillian Gibson, Brand Manager for
anCnoc, said:
"anCnoc has long had a close
relationship with visual art and we are
delighted to not only be continuing with
this fantastic series with Peter which
we are sure will become instant
collectors’ items like its predecessors,
but that we can also offer truly
personalised art with a mighty fine dram
with our
#youranCnoc campaign."
The campaign, called
#youranCnoc, will
go live on June 17th when people all
over the world will have a single day to
Tweet in their perfect way to enjoy a
dram of anCnoc – whether that be at the
beach, by a roaring fire with a dog or
looking at the countryside from their
window. One of the 10 winners will be
flown to New York to meet Peter and be
presented with their personalised
bottle. So get your camera out and get
snapping away and don't forget to tweet
your photo of yourself enjoying your
dram of anCnoc on the June 17th.
Peter added:
"I have been so inspired designing for
anCnoc and I’m really excited for people
to get the chance to be inspired
themselves and have their own personal
anCnoc moment immortalised onto their
very own bottle. It’s such a fun
opportunity."
