INSIGHT ON WHISKY ANCNOC 12 YEAR OLD
AnCnoc 12 Year Old is an excellent one scotch whisky, coming from a small distillery that in the last two decades has been able to carve out a good slice of attention, with honest and clean work aimed at smoothing out the corners and defects, allowing all the goodness and technical expertise of those who work these raw materials and gives life to the products of the AnCnoc line. AnCnoc is actually a Knockdhu brand, just a stone's throw from the North Sea in Aberdeenshire. Production began in 1894 and since then things have changed a lot, apart from the copper stills of the distillery which are the same as at the time, with some improvements and a small technological addition to make the work and above all the result safe.
After some periods of partial prerogative, both due to the two World Wars and due to a decline in attention towards the whisky in favor of first vodka and then gin, today Knockdhu and AnCnoc have taken off again, creating a precious core range, with some gems with a quality-price ratio that are absolutely worth mentioning for those who want to try a whisky new but firmly rooted in the tradition of the flavours scotch of the late nineteenth century. On the one hand the lightness and ease of approach, on the other the depth and complexity, this AnCnoc 12 Year Old is well placed in the center of the flavor map, giving space to various notes, all to be discovered: certainly a bottle to have and to offer to some skeptical friends.
