A delightful vintage expression from anCnoc, full of their classic honey character. The Spanish oak has imparted some leather and chocolate notes too. A worthy addition to anCnoc’s fine vintage range. 84/100
anCnoc 2009 Vintage
anCnoc Peatheart Batch 2
Another great peated expression, less sweet and floral than the 12 year old but quite mealy and full of oak wood and fruit, wood char, peat smoke and coal-tar soap. 85/100
anCnoc 12 Years Old
A good & classic anCnoc expression, quite flavourful and rich even presented at 40% ABV with lots of dessert-led fruit and sweetness. 84/100
anCnoc 16 Years Old 125th Anniversary Edition
anCnoc 16 Years Old 125th Anniversary Edition Whisky Review: A little underwhelming, spicy with plenty of vanilla on the nose but doesn’t really translate into the palate. 80/100
anCnoc 12 Years Old
A great all-round whisky that introduces you to anCnoc’s range, a lovely mid-weight floral, barley and honeyed fruit, in places more floral, sour and bitter slightly than we last remembered. 84/100

anCnoc Blas
Spicy and challenging at full strength but hints at a good depth, for us this was interesting as presented but much more enjoyable when reduced with water. This takes water well so has the added bonus of stretching out your drinking pleasure (or bottle volume) through dilution. This is reminiscent of a beefed-up version of the anCnoc 12 Years Old expression which we regard quite highly already. The bottle and packaging also sport a very colourful design incorporating lots of elements associated with anCnoc and their whisky production – making this stand out on the shelves. 85/100
anCnoc 22 Years Old
A spicier and slightly smoky dram, much more contemplative this one. Rich and with plenty of body, flavour and character, this really displays wonderful cask maturation on a light honeyed base spirit. A real indulgent pleasure! 86/100
