Review of the
new peaty permanent addition to the
anCnoc core range, anCnoc Sherry Cask
Peated Edition.
 I
know that there is a lot of whisky
enthusiasts, myself included, that love
a sherried peaty dram so I am sure there
are a lot of you who are pleased to hear
that Knockdhu distillery (anCnoc whisky)
has released a permanent new non-aged
expression peaty dram with a sherry
influence, the anCnoc Sherry Cask Finish
Peated Edition.
The distillery describe this new
addition to the core range as bursting
with anCnoc’s
soft, sweet, fruity flavours and the
delicious vanilla and warm spice of a
sherry finish – but with the added
richness of subtle, lingering campfire
smoke.
The whisky is crafted using a
combination of Knockdhu’s peated and
non-peated spirit, and after an initial
maturation period in American oak casks,
it’s finished in sherry butts from Jerez
which hone the whisky’s character - as
smoky spirit mingles with sweet spicy
wood.
anCnoc released its first peated sherry
expression in 2020, exclusively for the
Swedish market. Its popularity amongst
whisky drinkers, particularly those
looking to explore peated whiskies for
the first time, prompted the decision to
craft an expression for anCnoc’s other
key global markets.
You will find anCnoc Sherry Cask Finish
Peated Edition
available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt

Producer's
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A
little shy at first but dig deep and you
are rewarded with some toffee infused
with some very subtle peat smoke, hints
of lemon, plum, ginger and sweet
raisins.
Taste: Rich
toffee infused with the plum and raisin
from the nose, a touch of vanilla and
all infused with a delicious peat smoke
a bit of a spicy edge.
Finish: Long,
oak, sweet peat smoke, toffee and now a
touch of coffee with a wee bit of a
sherried edge lingers for an age before
bowing out.
Comment:
As I said a shy nose but delicious in
the mouth and finish, the balance of
anCnoc DNA, peat smoke and sherry
make for a very pleasurable dram.
