About the Producer Knockdhu (alias An Cnoc)

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: Inver House Distillers Ltd

Knockdhu can lay claim to being one of very few Scottish distilleries built at the initiative of a group (1898 by John Haig & Co, Distillers Company Ltd) and to have been bought only once in its lifetime (Inver House Distillers in 1988). 90 years of stability and production in the shadow of internationally renowned blends such as Haig. Nonetheless, only a handful of own-name Knockdhu bottlings exist, with the majority released by independent bottlers.In fact, it was only under its assumed name, An Cnoc, and at the initiative of its new owners, that the distillery became known in 1993. One name, one brand, jealously guarded, as no independent bottlings exist, save for those granted to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
