Description
A smoky and sweet dram made to mark the 125th anniversary of Knockdhu Distillery. Crafted in order to take the drinker on a “mellow journey from the heart of Banffshire’s rich peatlands”, this bottling was matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks and finished in Spanish oak butts before it was bottled at 46% ABV without any additional colouring or chill-filtration, with an outturn of 500 bottles.
The packaging features illustrations to tell anCnoc’s story about the distillery’s heritage, as well as a celebratory copper lid.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toasted almonds, buttery shortbread and black fruits emerge through refined wood smoke and a hint of gamey meat.
Palate
Seedless raisins, cinder toffee, mocha and winter spices combine initially. Orchard fruits and floral honey lifts the darker notes.
Finish
Tannic oak, citrus peels and earthy peat.
