AnCnoc Cutter

AnCnoc Cutter Highland single malt Scotch Whisky. Distilled at Knockdhu distillery. The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs.  This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm.

AnCnoc

Knockdhu whisky Distillery produces anCnoc malt whisky in Scotland’s Highland whisky region. Established in 1893 there are two stills with worm tubs and traditional dunnage warehouses where it matures both peated and unpeated anCnoc whisky.

Nose: An initially thick and oily smoke structure reveals a sharper, more medicinal phenolic layer and a piercing burst of fruitiness. Ripe peaches and just a touch of oak. The nose is intense and unforgettable.

Taste: More ashy, with a slight apple-core bitterness. Leather and spicy vanilla is there too, lingering at the back, accompanied by sharper notes of pink grapefruit and ripe orchard fruits. Elegant and long. A kaleidoscope of spicy and peaty notes that die out with a juicy burst and a loud call for another sip
