Last night I attended a Twitter tasting, which featured three expressions from the core range of anCnoc : the entry-level 12 Year Old , the recent  anCnoc 2000 vintage and the really new anCnoc 18 Year Old.

anCnoc 12 Year Old is mostly matured in ex-bourbon wood, with a bit of ex-sherry casks mixed in, and therefore a classic example of anCnoc’s house style, with lots of barley sweetness, honey and citrus.
