Knockando Pure Single Malt Whisky 12 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with a coppery sheen, a warm, honeyed glow that bronzes at the rim.

Nose

Elegant and inviting, the nose opens with vanilla, ripe apple and pear, then unfolds into dried apricot and fig. Subtle almond and hazelnut mingle with a touch of cocoa, while gentle oak and a whisper of sherry add a polished, velvety warmth.

Palate

Silky, sherried richness coats the palate with ripe plum, fig and dried apricot, framed by almond and a bright whisper of orange zest. Cinnamon and clove lift the mid-palate, guiding to a warm cocoa finish and a refined, velvety oak backbone.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with silky sherry sweetness lingering over dark fruit, cocoa, and a touch of nutty oak. Spiced orange zest threads through, fading to a warm, refined ember that invites the next sip.
