Ancnoc 18 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

What makes an 18-year Highland single malt truly exceptional in today’s crowded whisky market?

The AnCnoc 18 Years Highland Single Malt represents everything we love about traditional Scottish whisky-making without unnecessary gimmicks. This non-chill filtered expression showcases the distillery’s commitment to authenticity, with its natural bronzed amber color derived purely from wood maturation. Unlike heavily marketed alternatives, this whisky lets the Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels tell the story. For collectors seeking similar Highland excellence, consider exploring The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt or the refined Dalmore 21 Years expression.
