KNOCKANDO 12 YEAR OLD
In each bottle you will only ever find the produce of one single Season – a practice which continues to distinguish Knockando from almost all other single malts.
Especially delicate, fruity and subtle Speyside: Smooth but complex layers of flowery, nutty and slightly smoky notes.
