Description

The Knockdhu Distillery is situated in the picturesque village of Knock in Aberdeenshire, up in the in the northeast corner of Scotland. The story of the Knockdhu distillery starts with a man of vision (who also had an eye for a good investment). In 1892, an enterprising chap named John Morrison bought the Knock estate. The surrounding land was full of peat and barley. And the Great North Railway line ran nearby. So when springs of pure, clear water were found, John saw a golden opportunity. Samples of the water were sent for analysis, and soon, negotiations were underway with The Distillers Company of Edinburgh to build a distillery. Knockdhu opened its doors in October 1894. Back then, it was regarded as the perfect embodiment of a modern distillery. So it’s perhaps no surprise that we still produce a light, intriguing, and thoroughly modern whisky to this day.

AnCnoc Rutter is a part of AnCnoc’s limited edition peated range and named after the rutter spade, used to size and separate the peat blocks, producing a turf that is slow burning. This peat creates less reek and, therefore, gives the whisky a more fragrant smokiness. It is non-chill-filtered, natural color, bottled at 46% alc/vol., peated to 14.8ppm.

With a nose that of peat, lemon rind, nutty, black tea, and green fruit, AnCnoc Rutter has an oily, rich palate that features green apple, honeyed fruit, vanilla, spice, pineapple, peardrops, and leather, with smoke in the background. It has a medium-light finish with notes of tobacco, spice, and leather.
