anCnoc Rutter

The non-distiller reviews were poor but it's not a poorly constructed dram. Very light ethereal peat...only 11pm but not that bad albeit from low expectations...

Very unexpected and extraordinary. It welcomes you with a smooth, milky aroma of almond, sweet citrus, ginger and of course peat and smoke (not very much - it is a case when peat turns really gentle) and leather. And then the things get strange (in a positive way) - some classic creamy anCnoc notes undoubtedly (coconut palate and butter) mixed with amazing pepper, tar and bitumen taste, again peat and citrus. Finish is also stubborn and deep - bitter tar and leather on the edges of the tongue with deep sweetness and cinnamon.
