Knockando Extra Old Reserve Whisky 1977 Vintage

Colour

Rich, coppery amber with mahogany depths and a warm golden glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven bouquet, dark fruits—figs, apricots, raisins—woven with orange zest. Rich toffee, cocoa and toasted almond from the oak mingle with vanilla and spice. A whisper of leather and tobacco lends depth, yielding a refined, warm, fruit-forward nose that hints at decades of cask maturity.

Palate

Silky and robust on the palate, the 1977 Knockando delivers rich sherry influence with fig, raisin and date sweetness. Dark chocolate meets polished oak, toasted almond and a whisper of spice, supported by creamy vanilla. Mid-palate citrus zest lightens the fruit, leading to a warm, lingering finish where dried fruit, cacao and spice softly fade.

Finish

An enduring, velvety finish that unfolds with sherried dark fruit, fig and cocoa, gilded by toasted oak. Gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—adds warmth, while subtle leather lingers. A refined, honeyed warmth coats the palate long after the sip, fading with elegant sweetness and quiet dignity.
