Knockando Pure Single Malt Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold glow and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Aromas of dark, sun-warmed fruit—raisins, dates, dried figs—linger over toasted oak and gentle spice. Nutty almond and walnut notes mingle with honeyed sweetness, while citrus zest offers brightness beneath the sherry-cask's rich, warming influence. Subtle cocoa and leather weave through a velvety, inviting aroma.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with a pronounced sherried sweetness. Dried apricot, fig and raisin mingle with creamy vanilla and almond, underscored by a touch of orange zest. Cocoa nibs and toffee add depth as spice threads—cinnamon and clove—creep in. A polished oak backdrop supports a long, warm finish that lingers with nutty sweetness and subtle leather notes.

Finish

Warm sherry-spun finish that lingers with dried fig, raisin and orange zest, wrapped in cocoa and almond with subtle spice and a touch of oak, fading to a long, velvet warming echo.
