Description
This An Cnoc is so named because throughout the Scottish uplands, most extensively in the north and west, you will find the heart of the peatlands. Remote and isolated yet rich in iconic wildlife, this environment rules the landscape and provides a valuable fuel for the whisky-making process. This is Batch 1 and is heavily peated to 40.0 ppm.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: An initial smoky burst surrenders to a surge of fruitiness. Ripe pears and the citrus notes of apples and limes with just a touch of tobacco in the background. The nose is balanced yet an undeniable smoky sweetness prevails. |
| Taste |
| Distillery: Smoke laced with leather and sweet stewed apples. Chocolate is there too, perfectly complemented by sweet vanilla and zesty lemon. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: The finish has a lingering warmth with a floral smokiness. |
