A reputation that has travelled worldwide - to those in the know, it's a well kept secret. Now it's your chance to find out.

KNOCKDHU

At Knockdhu Distillery the methods used to make 'anCnoc' (pronounced 'a-nock') whisky have hardly changed in over 100 years, and it's these traditional techniques that help to create it's distinctive, modern flavour. Bottled as 'anCnoc', this unique single malt has a mind of its own. The name originates from the Gaelic for 'Knock Hill' where the distillery water flows from one of it's springs. It's one of our most popular destinations and you'll understand why from the moment you set eyes on Knockdhu.
