Description
PREPARATION
The Knockando 18 Years Whiskey is made from natural ingredients: malted barley, yeast and crystal clear water from the Cardnach spring, in the hills above the distillery, taking special care of the amount of peat used in malting, so as not to harden the final flavor. The proportion of Sherry barrels used during aging is limited to achieve the perfect touch of flavor without it becoming dominant. Built by John Thompson in 1898, Knockando Distillery proudly overlooks the River Spey in the village of the same name. Derived from the Gaelic "Cnoc-an-dhu", meaning "little black hill", the distillery was founded during the Victorian whiskey boom in 1898, but faced unreliable distributors: it closed in 1899 after just one year of production. W & Gilbey soon took over, marking a change of fortune for the distillery and for whiskey lovers everywhere.
TASTING
View: Pale amber color.
Nose: Lively and elegant, with aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, and touches of honey and spices, pepper and nutmeg.
Mouth: The flavor is a little more complex than on the nose, with more cereal tones, a touch of citrus, a hint of pepper and fresh grass. The aftertaste is not very long, with notes of almonds, sweet tones of Sherry and a light aroma of oak.
