AnCnoc

AnCnoc – Elegant and fresh Highland single malt Scotch whisky

anCnoc is a refined Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Knockdhu Distillery in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Known for its light, fruity, and accessible style, the brand combines traditional whisky production methods with a fresh, modern flavor.

The story behind AnCnoc

Although the distillery has been operating since 1894, the name anCnoc was only introduced in 1993–1994 to avoid confusion with the Scottish distillery Knockando. "anCnoc" (pronounced a-nock in Gaelic) means "the hill," a reference to nearby Knock Hill, where pure water is found—essential for whisky production.

Knockdhu Distillery has a long history of producing a lot of whisky for blends, but with the introduction of anCnoc, the brand was put on the map as its own single malt label.

The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and often uses a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for maturation. The bottlings are not chill-filtered and contain no added color, which contributes to the pure flavor and fruity elegance of the whiskies.

Why choose anCnoc?
