Knockando 1976 Season Whisky 12 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Dark, burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany rim, a luminous, sun-warmed hue that hints at its sherry-cask maturity.

Nose

Elegant and airy, with honeyed orchard fruit and fresh pear layered with a delicate orange zest. Sherry influence adds dried raisin and fig, toasted almond and soft vanilla, all mingling with light oak and a whisper of cocoa. A refined, slightly nutty sweetness that hints at Christmas spices.

Palate

Silky and generous on the palate, this Knockando 12-year carries a well-integrated sherry influence: dried fig and raisin, almond and toffee, with subtle cocoa and orange zest. Spices: cinnamon and nutmeg meet warm oak, yielding a creamy texture and a long, fruit-driven finish.

Finish

Rich sherry-influenced finish of dried fig and raisin, with orange zest and a whisper of cocoa. Spiced oak—cinnamon and clove—trails through the tail, yielding to a warm, lingering sweetness that fades into almond and toffee.
