This is a wonderful Highland Single Malt that is ruined by one of the dryest finishes that I have ever come across. As one famous Cajun chef once said something like "Good food will make you want to take another bite". Well, a good single malt will make you want to take another drink. In the case of An Cnoc 12, all I want after a dram of this is lots of ice water (which is probably a good thing).
As for the nose and taste of it that makes it so wonderful, imagine a slightly less fruity Clynelish 14 with just a hint of smoke. I also notice a bit of Lowland grassy taste. For those of you who hate heavily sherried malts or peat monsters, this may be just right for you. The dry finish will also make sure that it lasts a long time.
These reviews led me to try a bottle, since no bar in my area has any for sampling. I don't regret buying it, especially at only $31 US, but I won't be buying another bottle.
Find where to buy anCnoc whisky
I've had my bottle open for 2 months now maybe time to go back and have a taste. I don't remember a dry finish but to be honest I don't remember anything about it but the fact that it had a Very light taste to. Someone here once said that it gets beat up by a Glenfiddich 12 yr I find that to be a fair statement.
