This bottling of an AnCnoc without age statement was created in collaboration with the Scottish illustrator Peter Arkle, the label shows the passing of time over the many casks in the warehouse, which disappear in the darkness. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and Spanish oak barrels and was bottled in 2012 as a limited edition of 6000 bottles.
The Knockdhu distillery, which has been producing under the name AnCnoc (Gaelic for hills) since 1993, was founded in 1893 near the Knock Hills. In its chequered history it was closed several times until it was reopened in 1988 by the current owners Inverhouse Distillers.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
