AnCnoc Peatlands 9 PPM
Review by AnCnoc
- Colour
Iridescent amber.
- Nose
Citrus sweetness to begin with, followed by a robust peaty presence. The underpinning is delicate and estery with spicy notes of green apples, cloves and nutmeg.
- Palate
Coats the mouth with a sticky, creamy toffee richness only to cover this sweet prelude with a wave of warming wood smoke a few moments later.
- Finish
The finish is long-lasting but with a more gentle peatiness.
- Conclusion
Matured for more than 10 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels in the traditional dunnage warehouses at the enchanting Knockdhu distillery, Peatlands continues our mission to reinvigorate and bring a modern take to the world of peated whisky. This expression has been produced from the crystal clear highland spring water which runs through Knock Hill and forms the heart of every anCnoc distillate.
- Note
-
This limited edition Scotch whisky will launch exclusively in Scandinavia, Western and Eastern Europe from 7th August 2015 with just 6,600 bottles available to purchase.
Peatlands joins Tushkar, Rutter, Flaughter and Cutter in the award-winning collection, carrying the name of traditional peat cutting tools, bringing them into the spotlight as the unsung heroes. Like its sister expressions, it retains the signature dark smokiness but with a phenol content of 9PPM, Peatlands has a delicate and more gentle finish.
