Distillery Information

anCnoc is an award-winning single malt Scotch whisky label for the products of Knockdhu distillery at Knock, Banffshire, in the Speyside region. Its whiskies are often described as being light, refreshing and easy-drinking, yet with plenty of depth of flavor. The first expressions from the distillery are said to have been peaty due to the distillery's peat kilns, used for drying the malt. Now the default style in unpeated. The distillery was founded as Knockdhu in 1893 by John Morrison, who bought the land from the Duke of Fife, in order to supply whisky to Haig's. It became the first malt distillery built for The Distillers Company Ltd, the leading drinks and pharmaceutical company which became United Distillers. The land was chosen after several springs were identified on Knock Hill, and due to its location near Knock station on a branch of the line between Aberdeen and Elgin. Excellent sources of barley and peat were nearby. The facility started production in 1894 before closing for a few years in 1931 due to the economic depression. It closed again from 1940 to 1945 due to World War Two. In 1947 it was connected to the national grid and its steam engine was retired. Knockdhu was closed in 1983, and sold to current owners Inver House (now part of ThaiBev) in 1988. Though the distillery is still named Knockdhu (Gaelic for "black hill"), its whiskies were renamed anCnoc ("the hill') in 1994, to avoid confusion with Knockando single malts.
