Distribution of ratings for this:
Nose: Lovely mix of citrus, anise, apples and vanilla drops. quite fresh and zesty.
Palate: Peppery , woody, some vanilla, spices and toffee. I didn’t expect the pepper, i must admit it. turns a bit bitter towards the end. the citrus is almost gone now.
Finish : spicy,bitter wood.
All in all, i prefer the 12 which is lighter, more summery.
bottom line :
I find this older AnCnoc not as good and enjoyable as it’s younger 12 year old brother. Especially the bitter finish. I was totally not expecting pepper on this one. It’s not bad, don’t get me wrong, but if i had to choose between this and the cheaper 12, i would not hesitate.
Find where to buy anCnoc whisky
Must agree here; the 12 yr expression is considerably better than the 16 yr.
