Knockando Pure Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a copper-gold glow and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Delicate and honeyed, the nose greets with ripe pear and orchard fruit, buoyed by subtle dried-fruit sweetness. A whisper of sherry oak lingers, while vanilla, almond, and toffee add creaminess, with a touch of spice and toasted nut creating a refined, silky bouquet that speaks to its Speyside lineage.

Palate

Silky and elegantly balanced, the palate unfolds with honeyed apple and pear, woven with rich raisin and fig from the sherry cask. Subtle almond and toffee mingle with baking spice, while velvety oak adds depth. A final echo of cocoa and warm spice lingers, leaving a refined, dried-fruit finish.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with a gentle sherry sweetness. Dried fig, prune and cocoa unfold on the palate, wrapped in polished oak and a whisper of spice—clove and orange zest. The warmth lingers, evolving into a refined, enduring glow.
