anCnoc 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Finish: Still sweet with a little oak providing a contrast. This is not a long finish but the fruit carries right through. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. An Cnoc has its fair share of lovers and haters. I’m neither, but I can say that the 12 yr old in particular is very, very interesting. When I say that a malt is interesting, that’s usually a compliment. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s the case here. Rarely does reviewing a whisky have me so confused. I really don’t know what to make of this stuff. At all. Here are my notes: In 1993 Inver House changed the bottling names to anCnoc but it wasn’t until 2003, after Inver House was bought by Pacific Spirits, that the AnCnoc 12yo became the baseline official bottling. From that point on various releases have happened and more expensive bottles with bigger age statements have been released along with special editions.

Of course the word ‘dry’ means dry – but it was/is a term that everyone knew and could agreed on what was ment by it, unlike the use of such terms as cookie batter – which can mean anything to anyone. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. Nose: Medium honey, barley, vanilla, grass, apples, apple cider, pastry crust, gummie peach candy, and some distant smoke. Occasionally I’ll even get a whiff of curry or mustard thrown in. Bright, pleasant, and interesting. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Well if everyone who writes modern tasting notes isn’t out to impress – they are certainly do a great impression of one who is. And beside what person when confronted with it would own up to it. And no one wants to beleive that about themselves, yet they are.

Whisky reviews for anCnoc 12-year-old

For another 20 dollars (American) a whisky drinker could buy a bottle of Springbank 10 year, which happens to be one of my favorites right now (2012 bottlings of it, anyhow). If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This north east distillery is actually pronounced Glen Gee - ry and stems from the Gaelic words Garbh - rough and iochd - howe (a barrow or hill) and takes its pronunciation from the local Doric dialect.

Palate: Very watery mouthfeel. I get some banana cream, honey, pecan, grass, Frosted Flakes, milk, and apple vinegar. These build up to a crescendo of Indian spices. Think cumin, curry, and mustard. This one looks particularly hard but this new distillery on Uig, Abhainn Dearg, is pronounced Avin – Jerrig which is Gaelic for “red river”.

It could also be said that those industry terms (sweet vs. dry vermouth, for example), which made a lot of sense to the industry types only served to confuse customers who ended up exposed to those words. “Dry?? It’s a liquid, how can it be dry?”

I wasn't blown away by the An Cnoc 12. It's complex, yes, but not necessarily pleasing. In other words, it doesn't "ring my bell," so to speak, whatever the hell that means. . . . Body: Light and unfortunately watery. Upfront are bananas dipped in caramel sauce, developing into dry haw or straw, and finally some bitter notes: not citrus but woody: green sap or freshly-cut pine or birch logs. A dash of water may amp up the sweet honey character. After the war, with the distillery connected to the national grid, the steam powered engine, which had been used since its founding, was retired in 1947.

Here are my tasting notes on this complex dram that Ralfystuff liked so much, he gave it an 89 (really, Ralfy?). Then again, Serge at Whisky Fun was not so kind (84). You go on to say that you use ‘strawberry’ to identify fruity. Why ? just say fruity, just say sweet. Saying strawberry puts an unrealistic impress in the readers mind that they will taste strawberry, which is only what, as you admit, you THINK it tastes like, However if you say fruity, most tastetd would agree and say – Yea it’s fruity. An Cnoc 12 year old should easily fit into a nice summer evening with friends. It's a light romantic comedy such as (500) Days of Summer, without the complexity though. The 500 days aren't there in An Cnoc's favor. They're there because An Cnoc 12 was too common (not that the movie was...). Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). FMichael: That’s actually very possible. If my bottle as a whole was a dud, then it could be said that I never got to know this whisky at all. But if it wasn't a dud, then perhaps is just a case of different tastes at work.Tropical leaning fruit, malt, caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and a light smokiness blend with some hints of grass, damp earth, red licorice, gummy candy and spice. There’s also an odd note of canned pineapple that comes and goes that throws me off a bit. It’s complicated for sure, but I can’t say I’m wild about it.

He who says least says most. – or as they say in these here parts – “just give me the straight skinny” Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise. I'm not on a tight budget, per se, but I'm very far from being "well healed" either. But I'm a whisky nut. It's my hobby right now, and I embrace the magic of the dram. Over the past five years, I've tasted some really top notch drams like a 30-something Brora and a few glasses of Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 3. I’m tryng to convery that I think” – THINK, some people think big foot exists, some people think they hear bells when the fall in love – what you think doesn’t matter, it’s not reality – I really shouldn’t have to explain this….gooly The palate is light-bodied and just a tad spicy. Flavours of lemon and vanilla are at the forefront, together with a light beer-like maltiness, followed by a hint of coffee. Overall very well balanced and a joy to sample.I reviewed this malt about four months ago - here is a re-post of my original review - I would not change my current assessment of this one iota: I just polished another bottle of this, for you folks who might be thinking you’d like to buy a bottle and are wondering what it really tastes like, because the review of it given here is, well – worthless, it’s just another bit of so much hot air, that tells you absolutely nothing. After reading it you still have no idea what you’re in for if you buy a bottle, and you know darn well after you taste it, what you taste will be nothing at all like what the reviewers have said. I had heard good things about An Cnoc 12 from couple of my whisky buddies here in Finland. For me it didn't light any sparkles, it wasn't bad either but in my opinion, it felt a bit too flat-lined throughout the tasting. It was easy to drink and it balanced nicely between sweet and spicy notes. Taste: Intensely sweet, almost syrupy at first with a real hit of barley sugar before that dry smoke from the nose comes through. The smoke never overtakes the sweetness and they seem to sit side by side. The slightly tart apple so prominent on the nose is present but now drifts towards honey soaked pear. A subtle touch of peppery spice adds to the experience. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
