Thanks to /u/stinkysauce for this sample.

Over the year or so that I’ve been actually drinking anCnoc, it’s slowly gone from that funny distillery with odd pronunciation to yet another Highland that proves I’m not a fan of Highlands and finally to an interesting distillery.

So far they’ve brought in artists to designate two different special editions, peated their own malt, and have a mixture of NAS Vintages and aged stated malts.

From what I can understand from the very white webpage is this: The anCnoc 18 replaced the old anCnoc 16. Which I’m sure has a lot of people excited. Much like when Laphroaig went from 15 to 18, and less so when they went back.

As well they’ve left the alcohol level at a gentlemanly level of “not the fucking minimum”. They also didn’t chill-filter is at all, didn’t colour it, and aged it in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon…
