This lip-smacking 12yo An Cnoc (formerly Knockdhu) is a top-quality proponent of the non-sherried Speyside style, showing polished malt and a delicious spiciness throughout a warm, complex palate and lasting finish.
Nose: Barely noticeable phenols with subtle oak and dried fruit accompanied by hints of lime and barley sugars. Rounded and silky initially, but with time develops into a more robust and malty nose. Candied Mackintosh apples threaten to overpower an almost too delicate frame.
Palate: Whiff of initial oak smoke which quickly give way to vibrant, effervescent citruses that play havoc with the sides of the tongue. Heftier than expected, but not overpowering. Barley sugar follows from the nose, with honey, green pear and star fruits providing a succulent and juicy mouth feel.
Finish: Rapidly drying, leaving a soft lemon and barley sugar taste in the mouth. Surprisingly short, but in a refreshing kind of a way.
