anCnoc Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 1999 Vintage
Out of stock
A limited edition of 4,500 bottles from their 1999 vintage of both Bourbon & Sherry Casks and released at 15 years old.
A summery and well balanced vintage Ancnoc from The Knockdhu distillery in the East Highlands and as always with this distillery very fruit driven and easy drinking. Beyond that subtle packaging there is some great liquid lurking within!
95.5 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
"One of their best vintage malts for a very long time. In fact, one of their best ever bottlings...period."

Golden amber with sunlit honey highlights and a warm coppery glow.

Lemon curd atop buttery brown toast opens the nose, with waxy orange zest, honey and butterscotch. Hints of tunnocks toffee wafer bars emerge, finished by a delicate dusting of cacao powder.
Palate
Chocolate orange leads the palate, entwined with sweet honey and spiced citrus. A waxy mouthfeel frames poached pear with a hint of toffee sauce.
