Knockdhu Distillery in Banffshire opened its doors in 1894, thanks to the pioneering vision of our founder John Morrison, who brought the story of anCnoc to life. Knockdhu Distillery has enjoyed, and sometimes endured, an eventful history. Worked continuously up until 1931, it has since overcome economic depression and wartime restrictions on barley, even taking on the role of a military barracks. However, when it became the first distillery purchased by Inver House Distillers in 1988, a new era dawned. Since then, its reputation as a distillery rooted in tradition but renowned for an innovative attitude has remained very much to the fore.

The Highland distillery of Knockdhu was built in 1877, marking the genesis of The Distillers Company (DCL), who would later evolve into industry giant Diageo. Used almost exclusively as blending stock, It didn’t become known as a single malt until (under the new ownership of Inver House) its first official expression was released onto the market in 1990.
After a short time, the rather wise decision was taken to create the brand name “anCnoc”, and while it’s pronunciation may not be immediately obvious, it had the desired effect of avoiding confusion with Knockando.
Spanish Oak and American Oak casks come together to create this fantastic vintage 1975 anCnoc, complete with modern and luxurious black and gold labelling.
