Background: The distillery of Knockando which in Gaelic means 'little black hill' lies in the heart of Speyside. Only the purest natural ingredients are used to make Knockando : malted barley, yeast and crystal clear spring water from the Cardnach spring, which lies in the hills above the distillery.Notes of Malted Milk biscuits from the start followed by Dairy Milk chocolate buttons; those apple notes from the nose appear after a while, becoming more like apple crumble and vanilla ice cream; there are hints of cinnamon and ginger heading into the finish which, while not abrupt, isn’t overly long.

Bearing all the hall marks of the finest Speyside single malts – subtle and fruity with smooth floral layers with nutty and lightly smoky notes. Together, with time, they create a delicate whisky with a distinctive fresh almond note in its younger versions that gains weight and depth of flavour over the years.

The Knockando Distillery holds a special place in the heart of Speyside, nestled amidst the breath-taking landscapes of Scotland. The problem is that for some, today’s world of whisky has become this constant game of one-upmanship; an eternal quest for bragging rights. On the palate, the flavours unfold gracefully, revealing layers of smooth toffee, toasted almonds, and gentle spices. Gone are the vintage declarations although the age statement still stands: matured for 12 years in ex-bourbon casks.

The name Knockando comes from the Gaelic `Cnoc-an-dhu`, meaning `little black hill`, which is thought to be a reference to the hills which lie in-between the site of the distillery. Time is another key element, as gentle maturation in oak casks slowly reveal the subtle aromas of Knockando : delicate with a distinctive fresh almond note in its younger versions, it gains weight and depth of flavour over the years.Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”).
