The term \u2018r\u00f9dhan\u2019 [roo-an] refers to the final stage, in which the peat is stacked for several weeks to dry out ahead of burning to create the signature smokiness associated with the range.<\/p>\n<p>Measuring 46% ABV and pale straw in appearance, the initial fruity aromas give way to the strong scent of woody smokiness. To taste, the famous earthy peat flavour is followed by warming spices and burnt sugar, ending with a long and smooth finish.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of the <strong>2014 Black Hill Reserve<\/strong>, anCnoc will also be unveiling a new pack for this year\u2019s exhibition, which plays beautifully into anCnoc\u2019s modern tradition positioning. The popular whisky pays tribute to anCnoc\u2019s Highland home taking its name from the Knockdhu distillery, which means \u2018Black Hill\u2019 in Gaelic.<br \/>\nMatured in first fill American oak ex-Bourbon casks and bright gold in appearance, Black Hill Reserve is crisp on the nose with notes of citrus and green apples along with the full-bodied taste of ground spices and pear drops.<\/p>\n<p>anCnoc brand manager Stephanie Allison commented: \u201canCnoc has seen a growing demand for Peaty expressions and wants R\u00f9dhan and its original packaging, which is like nothing else on the market, to provide a real point of difference. Travel retail is a priority market as it provides an introduction to the brand for thousands of travellers. anCnoc therefore wants to ensure that customers are aware of its desire to create whisky using traditional methods but with a modern twist\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>R\u00f9dhan joins the Peaty Collection at a price point of \u20ac64.99 for 1L. The refreshed Black Hill Reserve has a suggested RRP of \u20ac49.99 for 1L.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both expressions will be available from the middle of October in selected duty-free stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premium Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, anCnoc has announced it will celebrate travel retail &amp; duty-free this year with the unveiling of two stylish new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,7099,7097],"tags":[3110,3109,3111,2404,3112],"class_list":["post-17069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-ancnoc-duty-free","tag-ancnoc-whisky","tag-duty-free-scotch","tag-malt-whisky-duty-free","tag-rudhan"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
