Description: Discover the bold and adventurous spirit of Ancnoc Rascan, an intriguing expression from the renowned Knockdhu Distillery that pushes the boundaries of traditional Scotch whisky-making. Translating to “turbulent” in Scots Gaelic, Rascan is a nod to the distillery’s innovative approach, offering whisky enthusiasts a unique and memorable drinking experience that defies expectations.

Crafted with passion and precision, Ancnoc Rascan is a peated single malt whisky that showcases a rare and distinctive side of the Knockdhu Distillery. Unlike its unpeated counterparts, Rascan is crafted using malted barley dried over peat fires, imbuing the whisky with a rich and smoky character that sets it apart from the rest.

Upon first nosing and tasting, Ancnoc Rascan captivates the senses with a complex and intriguing aroma of smoky peat, toasted oak, vanilla, and subtle hints of citrus and spice. The palate is bold and robust, with flavors of charred wood, earthy peat smoke, dark chocolate, and a touch of brine, all beautifully balanced by underlying notes of honey and caramel sweetness.

The peated character of Rascan adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the whisky, resulting in a long and satisfying finish that lingers on the palate, leaving behind a warm and smoky aftertaste that invites another sip.
