An Cnoc Peatheart is a heavily peated expression from anCnoc, the Highland single malt distillery located in Knockdhu, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. While anCnoc is traditionally known for its unpeated, approachable Highland style, the Peatheart range represents a bold departure — a smoky exploration crafted for those who seek something more intense from this well-regarded distillery. Made from heavily peated barley, An Cnoc Peatheart is released in numbered batches and bottled at 46% ABV. The whisky delivers an initially very smoky nose, reflecting its robust peat character. It is matured in bourbon barrels, which lend a lighter, more approachable texture to the heavily peated spirit. The result is a whisky that balances assertive smoke with the gentle, fruity nuances that define the classic anCnoc house style. The Peatheart range has gained a devoted following among lovers of peated whisky who appreciate its Highland origin — a region not traditionally associated with heavily smoked malts. Each batch offers a slightly different perspective on the same peaty theme, making it a sought-after series for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
