This Ancnoc 1994 is unchill-filtered expression was distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2008 at 46%abv.

It is rich, golden honey in colour, the nose is of medium to high intensity, slightly woody with hints of vanilla and toffee. On the palate it is full bodied, slightly peaty with fruity overtones.

AnCnoc is a single malt whisky from the Knockdhu distillery. The distillery lies in the village of Knock which lies beneath the 1200 ft Knock Hill, the source of the distilleries water. The distillery was built in 1893 and started production in 1894. It has two stills which in 1966 were converted to mechanical stoking. Like many distilleries it closed in 1983, however it was purchased by Inver House and re opened being a major part of Haigs blends.

The name AnCnoc has been used to avoid confusion with the similar named Knockando distillery. Interestingly I've always considered the distillery to be in the Speyside region - just, however the bottle clearly says Highland.
