anCnoc 12 Year Old

Nose, Taste, Finish and Balance are graded out of 2.5 each:

Nose: Apple and Dutch black liquorice are the first to greet, before introducing the marzipan candy and wet grass. Wafts of tobacco smoke are soon to follow, even shisha smoke of the peach variety. 2.0

Taste: A medium-bodied, oily sheet of pearled barley and malt, richly infused with oil-covered grape and peaty banana. A hint of spice offers a welcome counterpoint to the proceedings. 2.0

Finish: A calm surge of smoke and spice, as if one had literally taken the small coals from the Shisha pipe and put them on the palate, infused with the peach-flavoured tobacco smoke. 2.0

Balance: A complex dram, with plenty of refined layers of peat and spice to counterbalance the fruity malt. This is not a loud whisky, it doesn't demand your full and undivided attention, however it may well deserve it, or at least a good portion of it. A whisky of character, and one to be taken notice of. 2.0
