AnCnoc 18 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh apple – both sweet and gently sour – grainy vanilla fudge, freshly crushed malt, cooked sweetcorn and a touch of plasticine. Light fruity notes burst out of the glass when freshly poured, with darker flavours developing over time: candied lemon, pineapple, mango cream and dried tropical fruit trailmix slowly turn into flamed orange peel and raisins.
Palate: This is extremely rich and very balanced in flavour.
Finish: Finish is smooth and long.
