Special Features:
In anCnoc Peatheart Batch 3, powerful peat smoke meets Knockdhu's bright, fruity character. Maturation takes place in American oak ex-bourbon casks. Alongside soft, ashy barbecue smoke, grassy notes, green apples and citrus fruits are particularly prominent in this third release. Batch 3 belongs to the limited Peatheart series, whose first two releases appeared in 2017 and 2020.
A distinctive feature of this release is the separate specification of phenol levels in the malt and the finished whisky. The Master Blender selects malt at 34 ppm for Peatheart; in the whisky of Batch 3, the level is 13.3 ppm. The unit ppm means parts per million. As some phenols are lost during whisky production, the malt's figure does not describe the phenol content of the bottled spirit.
The pale gold whisky is bottled at 46% without chill filtration or added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle comes in a presentation tube.
Tasting Notes:
Distillery/Bottler:
Behind anCnoc is Knockdhu Distillery, founded in 1894 in the Highland village of Knock in Aberdeenshire. The distillery stands at the foot of Knock Hill, whose springs supply water. Local barley and peat are among the natural resources that made the location attractive for whisky production.
Knockdhu uses wooden fermentation vessels and copper pot stills; its casks are stored in traditional dunnage warehouses. For the peated releases introduced in 2023, the team led by distillery manager Gordon Bruce used locally sourced barley smoked with peat from Aberdeenshire. In doing so, the distillery reconnects with a time when peat was used both to dry barley and as fuel for distillation.
