Knockando
Knockando 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
An especially delicate, fruity and subtle Speyside. Smooth but complex layers of flowery, nutty and slightly smoky notes.
Serving Suggestion: Best served in a traditional whisky glass with water and one or two ice cubes.
"Delicate and fragrant on the nose, with hints of malt, worn leather, and hay. Quite full in the mouth, smooth and honeyed, with gingery malt and a suggestion of white rum. Medium length in the finish, with cereal and more ginger."
Gavin D Smith, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.146
"Beeswax, honey and gentle peat on the nose, the palate is altogether bolder, with pepper and earthy peat in evidence mixing it with very sweet crystallised barley and a sweet and rounded finish."
Dominic Roskrow, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.146
Appearance
Pale amber.
Body
A light body and mouthfeel, as might be expected.
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. The development is towards scorched paper - fragile and no off-notes.
Palate
Light mouthfeel, pleasantly sweet, central palate, drying lightly, with a trace of acidity.
Finish
Relatively short. Clean and easy to drink.
