but a major mouthful of wine

Proprietors Yves and Stephanie Vatelot have turned out a superlative effort in this vintage that is cru classé quality

Knockdhu anCnoc 'Rascan' Single Malt Scotch Whisky(750ml) Sherry - Jerez the Gran Reserva Solera 23Critic tasting note: "One of anCnocs peated expressions, Rascans barley was peated to 11. 1 ppm, and aged in bourbon barrels for what the distiller describes as nearly a decade. The nose gives sweet smoke, with ripe peaches and a hint of barbecue. Vanilla emerges, and the aroma becomes floral. Apples, vanilla fudge, and peat smoke on the palate. The smoke dries slowly, with citrus fruit giving way to oak and chile." Whisky Advocate
