AnCnoc 12 Year Old Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 40.00%. Tasted at home, part of small whisky sampler pack ($37 for 4 x 50mL bottles).
Colour: Some days lately I feel like Scrooge McDuck describing the whisky’s colour…more fucking gold.
Nose: Fresh floral notes; a hint of smoke & medicinal feints.
Palate: Quite intense flavour-wise, soft toasted wood or charcoal, but not bitter.
Finish: Medium length flavour, pepper and warmth through the mouth, dry finish.
Comments: Nothing too memorable to report on this one, it’s quite ok but overall there’s nothing too special about it which would give cause to get excited about it.
