The Knockando Distillery was founded in 1898 by John Thompson and administered by the Knockando-Glenlivet Distillery Company. This is a core expression of Knockando and has been matured in bourbon casks for 12 years, resulting in a light and fruity character with subtle spicy hints.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 43% abv.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Pale amber.
NOSE
Fruity-floral at first - flowering currant, a hint of blackcurrant - with some ash or char in the background (scorched brown toast?) and after a while a trace of damp linen. Water brings up cereal notes (principally maize), and some meaty aromas.
TASTE
Light mouthfeel, pleasantly sweet, central palate, drying lightly, with a trace of acidity.
FINISH
Relatively short. Clean and easy to drink.
