anCnoc 24 Year

Been wanting to try this forever. Nose - funky fruity chewy chocolate, brandy oaked raisen, dusty leather, vanilla chews, yellow sour fruit, dusty oak, sandal wood, slight vegital stew note, and light caramel drizzle with a hint of sea salt. Almost an extra fruity and malt forward older bourbon in a way. Taste - While sherry was unmistakable on the nose, it was not nearly the sherry bomb I get on the pallet. The rich fruit malt however is what makes this special. It's this full body and rich fruit orchard fruit forward and sour fruit. Then oak and sherry bring it right back into a perfect balance. A rich powerful and exceptional pour for 46%. I'll give this 3.75. It's a sample review. Subject to some change. Could go 4 star could go 3.5. A lovely whisky that has me regretting never picking one up when they were available for reasonable prices.

Uno de los whiskys mas impresionantes que he probado, si no el que más. Profundisimo y complejo en aroma y boca, notas de anís, caramelo, leves notas a madera usada, goloso y untuoso, cremoso, los grados no existen, el equilibrio es perfecto. La boca es muy suave y golosa, facilísimo de beber.

A bit harsher than one would expect (especially on the palate) but still a superb and fairly long aged scotch. anCnoc is never the one that ceases to amaze.

Good value 20+ year Highland single malt. Lots of fruit, vanilla and honey.

Talk about a cluster fuck. I cracked open a new bottle, really excited to try this whisky. As I (gently) twisted the cap, the cork promptly broke off. I tried to grab it with a corkscrew but the remainder of the cork fucked off right into this beautiful naturally caramel colored malt. Nose: cork. That’s all I smell. Palate: Fucking cork. Heavy cork. Finish: lingering regret and corky cork cork. I wrote all that before I tried it at all. I tasted it and it’s fucking amazing. I don’t know how to save this bottle. FUCK!
