Knockando Centenary 100 Years Whisky 12 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with copper highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes envelope a fruit-and-honey core: orchard apples and pears, rich raisin and fig, crowned by vanilla and toffee. Nutty almond and hazelnut mingle with a wisp of cocoa, while ginger and cinnamon spice drift over polished oak. Elegant, celebratory, and inviting—an aroma that promises a refined Speyside finesse.

Palate

Silky and balanced, this Speyside carries a gentle sherry lift. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, date—join toffee, vanilla and a touch of almond. Orange zest brightens the mid-palate, while cinnamon and clove spice softly. The finish is warm and refined, with a chocolatey glow and lingering oak.

Finish

Silky, long finish saturated with sherry influence: dark fruit compote, fig and raisin, a touch of almond and cocoa, and toffee-laced oak that slowly fades into warm spice.
