AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 2 is the third release in the Peatheart series, which focuses on the heavily peated expressions of AnCnoc single malt. Distilled at the Knockdhu Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, this expression is crafted with barley peated to 40ppm and matured in bourbon casks for over ten years. Bottled at a strength of 46% ABV in 700ml size, the second batch of Peatheart offers a complex flavor profile that balances peat with nuanced sweetness.
The nose of Peatheart Batch 2 boasts understated smoke, soft fruit, pineapple, citrus, and a touch of tobacco. The palate is rich and full, revealing wine gums, chocolate, vanilla, lemon, leather, and stewed apple notes. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering smoky character. This single malt is an excellent example of AnCnoc's ability to create a bold, peaty expression while maintaining balance and depth of flavor.
AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 2 is crafted with barley peated to 40ppm, resulting in a moderately peaty profile that is smooth and easily drinkable. It is well-balanced, combining peat with nutty sweet notes.
The main flavor notes include bacon, grilled mushroom, grilled pineapple, toasted bread, cashew nut, vanilla, honey, custard pudding, and a buttery sweet finish with nutty and chocolate hints.
While AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 2 is moderately peated and well-balanced, it may be less intense than some heavily peated whiskies, making it a great choice for those who prefer a smoother, more nuanced peat experience.
Overall: AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 2 delivers a complex and rich flavor profile while maintaining balance and depth. It combines moderately peated notes with underlying sweetness, making it a smooth and easily drinkable single malt.
AnCnoc Peatheart Batch 2 strikes a perfect balance between peat and sweetness. While it may not satisfy those seeking a heavily peated whisky, it offers an approachable and well-rounded experience. The combination of subtle smoke, rich fruit, and nutty sweetness makes it a delightful choice for both peat enthusiasts and those new to peated whiskies.
