anCnoc Peated Whisky Special
Wednesday, 19 July, 2023
Peat. One of whisky’s most divisive flavours, sparking lots of love, a little bit of hate, but always a lively conversation amongst drinkers. That’s exactly what we’ve captured in our latest episode, as anCnoc introduces two new peated single malts to the world: Sherry Cask Finish, Peated Edition and the long awaited limited edition, Peatheart Batch 3. To fuel the discussion Gordon welcomes anCnoc Brand Ambassador Stuart Baxter back to the Knockdhu mic for a chat and a tasting. Stuart has been doing his homework and delivers a phenolic masterclass, taking us back 2000 years to explain what exactly went on in Scotland to create those fields of flavour-packed peat in the first place – before bringing us right up to date with his definitive classification for peated whiskies today: are they ACDC or Taylor Swift? Gordon explains the peated whisky making process and waxes lyrical about his beloved Aberdeenshire peat: the stuff that brings all the ashy, woody, heathery charm to the peated single malts he makes at Knockdhu – and the reason anCnoc’s peated drams are loved by peat lovers and haters alike.
