anCnoc adds 2001 to vintage expressions

Premium single malt Scotch whisky, anCnoc has introduced an exclusive 2001 vintage to its range of vintage expressions.

The limited edition liquid joins the family of single malts crafted at the Knockdhu distillery in Aberdeenshire, and follows a string of successful new releases for the brand which positions itself as refreshingly modern whilst still paying homage to age-old tradition.

Matured for over 15 years in Spanish and American oak casks in traditional dunnage warehouses, the 2001 vintage has been bottled in its most natural form, neither chill-filtered nor coloured at 46% ABV.

anCnoc brand manager Stephanie Allison comments: “Like all anCnoc bottlings, fans will be able to detect the unmistakable Knockdhu style in every drop of this spirit, but in particular it’s the complex depth of flavour of the 2001 that we’re really proud of. We’re sure it will be a hit with even the most discerning whisky drinker.”

Staying true to the distinctive anCnoc style, the 2001 Vintage packaging mirrors the minimalist design of anCnoc’s core range and features the contemporary yet traditional illustration of the Knockdhu Distillery in ice blue foil.

With just 1,000 cases available globally this single malt has an RRP of £55 for 70cl. Stockists include specialist and independent retailers in the UK, US, Canada, Sweden and Japan.
