Knockando 12 Year Old is a core expression from this Speyside distillery. This malt previously carried a vintage, however Knockando's ongoing bourbon-cask bottling has now been released as a 12 year old. Light and fruity with spicy hints.

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.
