The wine

This whisky is a blend from whiskys of various sherry barrels, these being meticulously selected by the manager of the distillery. It is golden in colour with hints of amber, and gives off intense notes of honey, praline and malted barley. As for its palate, it is surprisingly fresh, marked by flavours of mint and aniseed. Its finish is carried by notes of nut and gentle spices like cinnamon, ginger and cumin.

Information about domain Knockando

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

France has always been a popular market for Knockando. Its single malt perfectly embodies the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland, even adopting certain practices from the world of wine and cognac, such as the “Extra Old” appellation and vintage. It is therefore possible to trace the development of Knockando's style, characterized by bourbon cask maturation, across the decades by focusing on four pivotal ages, 12, 15, 18 and 21, all bearing a vintage. Paradise for any collector.A few rare versions matured entirely in ex-sherry casks are also available in very limited series, including a Knockando 25 Year Old limited to 4,758 bottles worldwide and the very rare Knockando 20 Year Old for Aberdeen University.
