Description
Ancnoc Rascan Single Malt 750ml
- WHY: AnCnoc, the single malt label for Knockdhu distillery, offers old school, classic Highland single malt flavors for a reasonable price. Sweet barley notes, vanilla, and oak spices dance across the palate. The Rascan is a lightly smoky version of the whisky, peated to 11 parts per million (PPM).
- HOW: Using roughly 85% Bourbon cask maturation, with the remaining 15% going into Sherry butts, Knockdu’s profile has all the vanilla from the American oak with a touch of sweetness on the mouthfeel from the Sherry. The 24 year old is neither chill-filtered nor colored with caramel, and is densely sweet with a touch of Christmas cake on the finish.
- WHAT: Knockdhu Distillery is owned by Inver House, the same company that owns Balblair and Old Pulteney. Over the last few decades, the group has slowly evolved their whiskies into underground success stories, revamping the product lines, updating the labels, and improving the quality. Knockdhu is located in the Highland region just a few miles east from the town of Keith.
