anCnoc Highland Singlemalt Scotch Whisky

When John Morrison bought the Knock estate from the Duke of Fife in 1892, he wanted his investment to pay its way.

The discovery of several springs of pure, clear water on the southern slopes of Knock Hill let him do just that. The location, close to the Great North of Scotland railway line in the peat and barley-rich region of Moray, was perfect for distilling whisky. Production began in October 1894, and the Knockdhu dram was born.

Today little has changed at Knockdhu, the quality of the distillate continues to be the signature; fresh and fruity, and this in combination with hand selected casks, delivers a perfectly balanced Single Malt.

Gordon Bruce, the Knockdhu Distillery Manager, and the seven men of Knock, continue to ensure tradition and craftmanship in the production of anCnoc Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, at one of the smallest, and by far most enchanting distilleries in Scotland.

anCnoc Highland Single Malt Whisky 16 years



Wholly maturing anCnoc in American bourbon barrels allow the characteristic intense citrus notes to shine through. anCnoc 16 Year Old is bottled in its most natural form – neither chill filtered nor coloured.

A limited release, carefully hand selected for its special qualities by the Master Distiller.

Colour: Rich golden honey.
Taste: Full-bodied, slight peatiness with fruity overtones.
Alc/Vol: 46%
Sizes available: 700ml

Nose: Rich, smooth and well balanced. Sweet with fruit overtones and hints of vanilla.
Colour: A rich amber.

HANKY BANNISTER SCOTCH WHISKY

BRAND HISTORY
The Hankey Bannister brand dates back to 1757, when Messrs Hankey and Bannister formed their successful partnership, which would lead them to become one of the finest suppliers of wines and spirits, holding royal warrants under King George V and King Edward VII.
Their outstanding reputation, combined with a deliciously sophisticated blended Scotch whisky, resulted in Hankey Bannister becoming one of the favourite drinks of some of the most famous characters in history, including Prince Regent William IV, war-time Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and British writer Evelyn Waugh.
Since then, Hankey Bannister has continued to charm an ever-growing number of consumers with its smooth and complex blend of premium Scotch whiskies distilled at some of Scotland’s finest distilleries, including Balblair, Knockdhu and Balmenach, one of the first distilleries to be sanctioned under the Excise Act in 1823.
The result is a light, subtle blend with clean, sweet and spicy flavours entwined with honey tones for a pleasant, lasting finish.
