Character Goatson

A “go-to” Highlander with sublime, complex palate and amazing aromatics.

John Morrison found a patch of land rich with barley, Highland spring water, and shallow bogs of dry peat. He smartly grasped the opportunity and bought the Knock Estate from the Duke of Fife, giving birth to the Knockdhu distillery  in 1894. With time the methods of production have changed, but their dedication to quality has not. Today they produce a wide range of Single Malts of various styles, ages, and special editions.

anCnoc 12 year old is the core of their Single Malt range, and it is one of our Highland favorites. It is officially located in Aberdeenshire, but it is in the top end. If the distillery were located five miles to the west it would qualify as a Speyside so it is not surprising that this Single Malt shares many of the light, fruit-forward characteristics of the region. And since the Whisky is aged in refill ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, the wood influence is subtle and refined, revealing a cleaner — we might even say more authentic spirit.

Smartass Corner:
AnCnoc — pronounced “a-nock” — is named after the local village of Knock in Banffshire. Previously, this Single Malt was named “Knockdhu” after it’s distillery. But there was a lot of confusion with the nearby and similarly-named “Knockando” distillery, so it was rebranded.

Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
