  1. Slàinte Mhath scored this whisky 83 points Administrator

    Distillery names can be a bit confusing: Knockdhu, Knockando - so let's just call this Single Malt anCnoc which is Gaelic for 'black hill'. Fruity acidity, sour berry mash and lemon zest are first to arrive on the nose, but there is a diverse mixture of fresh, floral and malty notes lurking in the back. The taste is spirit-driven, spicy and mildly dry with tropical fruits, heather honey and brown sugar. Just shy of medium length, the finish evolves with a touch of cinnamon, oak and licorice. A good 12-year-old entry-level malt which is flawless, easy-drinking and reliable.

    AnCnoc | 12 yo | 40% | 21 + 21 + 20 + 21 = 83pts
    N: Ripe yellow apples, “Flight” candies, puff pastry, green tea, flower meadow, honey, bird cherry, a little minerality.
    T: Dry, somewhere on the throat a faint sweetness, tart. Super distinct apples, woody spice, citruses, a little salt.
    F: Soft, delicate, slightly spicy-tart, quickly leaves, leaving astringent nuances in the mouth. Flowers, honey and puff pastry.
    B: It’s normal, whisky without deep nuances, but what it gives on its surface is very pleasant, cozy and appropriate.

  3. HammerHead scored this whisky 80 points Expert Senior

    A very fruity and floral nose with marzipan, turkish delight and honey. The taste has honey, vanilla, turkish delight and a cane surgaryness to it. The finish is short with a mild and soft honied liquorice feel to it.

  4. Matt80 scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      Heather, honey, grassy, green apples, quite light.
      With water - softer, fruitier, a little pear, herbal, grassy, a little oak, oat biscuit.
    • Taste
      Honey sweetness that is quickly overtaken by salt and brine. Wood comes to the fore, a little apple tart.
      With water - pencil shavings
    • Finish
      Long, very drying, salty like pork crackling. The smoke lasts and lasts with a touch of tannins and some pepperiness.
      With water - woody, drying

  5. vanilkalover scored this whisky 95 points Newbie

    Beautiful floral, fruity nose. Very smooth taste.

  6. Robinzon25 scored this whisky 79 points Expert Senior

    You can drink, but the release is rather weak. Too simple and plain whisky.
    • Nose
      Spirituous, with hints of wild garlic, pickles and yeast dough. Deeper - cardboard and dusty hay.
    • Taste
      Watery, brackish, peppery, with notes of stale bread, ginger and dry oak.
    • Finish
      Short. Rye crackers, salt, nutty bitterness, dry tannins.

  10. EnjoyLife89 scored this whisky 75 points Expert Junior

    I like it very well, not very outrageous, but really good drinkable without much TamTam.
    • Nose
      Sweet and malt; some vanilla and fruit; Malt but dominant; It is characterized by a citrus fruitiness;
    • Taste
      Sweet and spices; Malt clearly there; a trail nut
    • Finish
      Medium length, spices and malt; clear oak; in the end, a nut-note will hang again.
