Ancnoc Rascan Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A 2015 addition to the range of peated anCnoc single malts, once again with a name reference a traditional peat-harvesting tool. The Rascan has been peated to 11.1 PPM (only just higher than the Rutter, which is peated to 11 PPM) and aged in American ex-bourbon barrels for "nearly a decade", according to the distillers at Knockdhu. Rascan is also a rather fun word to say - always a plus.

Ancnoc Rascan Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Honey and orange (perhaps a little bit of apple too), complimented by developing, earthy peat smoke.

Palate: Peat is more pronounced on the palate, though well balanced with handfuls of sweet vanilla.

Finish: Light and elegant as it ends, the last hint of smoke slowly fading out.

Distillery Information

Situated in the picturesque village of Knock in the Highlands region of Scotland, the Knockdhu Distillery was founded in 1892 by John Morrison. At the time, the distillery was surrounded by acres of fresh barley and peat, and enjoyed easy access to pure spring water and the Great North Railway. When Morrison completed construction of the distillery in 1894, Knockdhu was regarded as the most modern and well-equipped distillery of its time.
