anCnoc 24 Year

Not a sherry bomb (hate that expression), but you definitely know this ain't an ex-bourbon aged whisky. Delicious, with notes of almond paste, candied fruits and baking spices. A touch of water reveals further notes of crême brulée and nutmeg. A worthy AnCnoc.

This is definitely for those with a sweet tooth. The malt and sherry create a unique arrangement of aromas: Cookie Dough, Raisinets, Vanilla chews, and Cream sherry. The palate is equally decadent, Malt balls, Dates, and Mint Chocolate. It drys out on the finish which is a tad short. It's a bit too sweet for me but perhaps not for you.

This one is something special. It stays true to AnCnoc's house style, but everything is intensified. 24 years of sherry cask maturation have led to a beautifully sweet and spicy character. Vanilla, toffee, custard, candied citrus peel, and dark, jammy fruits dominate up front. After about 10 minutes in the glass, the spiciness kicks in on the nose and finish, accompanied by gentle notes of mulling spices and leather. Body and mouthfeel are fabulous to boot as the whisky is quite oily. The perfect late-night dram.
