anCnoc Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky wins Gold at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2016 with 12YO

Single Malt Scotch whisky brand anCnoc is proud to announce the 12 year old from its core collection has won Gold at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2016.

anCnoc’s 12 year old is renowned the world over as a must-have in any whisky drinkers’ collection. Soft and aromatic on the nose it has hints of anCnoc’s signature flavour notes of honey and lemon, resulting in a long smooth finish. The gentle amber colouring comes from its maturation in American oak ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso casks, which deliver a fantastic flavour profile with a surprise at each twist and turn.

Stephanie Allison, Brand Manager for anCnoc says “We’re thrilled to announce that our 12 year old has been recognised within the industry as a Gold winner at the IWSC Awards. Creating the finest whisky possible is at the heart of everything we do at anCnoc, so winning such a prestigious award within a global competition is a great way to share our achievements and reward our dedicated distillery teams for all their hard work.”
