Description
The new An Cnoc Peated whiskies are named after peat cutting tools. The Rutter spade is used to size and separate the peat blocks producing a turf that is slow burning. This peat creates less reek and therefore gives the whisky a more fragrant smokiness, in this case, with a PPM of 11.0.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: Initially very smoky, it quickly unveils the unmistakable An Cnoc character with delicate spices, juicy pineapples, peardrops and gentle vanilla. Rich and warming.
The WSD: Very floral on the nose. Orange blossom and honey.(M) |
| Taste |
| Distillery: Full bodied and bursting with peaty richness. Soft undertones of honey, creamy vanilla, toffee and leather are punctuated by the freshness of green apples.
The WSD: The taste is very full. Overly baked oat biscuits just out of the oven. The baking parchment is singed. The taste is well balanced. Wine notes, treacle and honey.(M) |
