anCnoc Rutter Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
A limited edition Peated Whisky (11 ppm) from Knockdhu which is named after the spade used to size and separate peat blocks from the Bog and bottled at natural colour and without chill filtering.
I would compare this to the likes of peated Benriach, Glenglassaugh Torfa or Kilchoman in style, a very well balanced lightly peated single malt from a distillery not known for its peaty whiskies but on this evidence that may well change.
96.5 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
