Read More About the Product Story
anCnoc originates from the Knockdhu Distillery in Aberdeenshire, Scottish Highlands. Although the distillery's name means 'Black Hill' in Gaelic, their single malt bottling has been branded as anCnoc ('The Hill') since 1994 to avoid confusion with another brand, Knockando.
Founded in 1894 by John Morrison, the Knockdhu Distillery maintains traditional methods. This 12 Year Old is considered the core soul of the brand, embodying a 'modern vintage' style. The distillery utilizes two traditional onion-shaped stills and, notably, worm tub condensers—a rare cooling method that imparts a unique, fuller texture to the spirit without sacrificing the characteristic Highland lightness.
When sipping anCnoc 12 Year Old, the silky smoothness and ethereal aroma result from slow distillation and careful maturation in American Oak Bourbon casks. It avoids heavy peat, instead pursuing a balance of delicate floral, fruity notes, and warming spice. This is not just a bottle of whisky; it is a microcosm of the pure Highland terroir and a century of distilling heritage.
