Ancnoc Sherry Cask Finish Peated Edition (40%) is a beautifully nuanced, lightly smoky single malt Scotch whisky that masterfully bridges the gap between gentle peat smoke and rich sherry sweetness. Crafted at the traditional Knockdhu Distillery in the Highlands, this expression is a tribute to the historical use of local peat in their distilling process. The whisky is matured in traditional American oak casks before being finished in premium sherry casks sourced from Spain. This dual maturation results in a wonderfully accessible, balanced dram where the soft, sweet smoke dances effortlessly with deep fruit and spice notes, making it an excellent introduction to peated whiskies.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Pale gold with amber highlights

• Nose: An inviting bouquet of sweet, gentle wood smoke and earthy peat, beautifully integrated with rich aromas of dried dark fruits, warm honey, toffee, and a delicate hint of citrus peel

• Palate: Soft, smooth, and full of character, opening with a velvety wave of sweet vanilla and creamy milk chocolate, quickly followed by the richness of spiced fruit cake, ripe plums, and a continuous backdrop of subtle, warming campfire smoke

• Finish: Medium to long, clean, and pleasantly warming, leaving a lingering balance of sweet sherry dried fruits, soft peat smoke, and a touch of peppery oak spice
