Knockando Pure Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany undertone.

Nose

Sherry-kissed and irresistible, this nose blooms with dried fig and plum, orange zest and toffee, layered over warm vanilla and polished oak. Nutty almond meets cocoa as the aroma opens, hinting at a fruit-forward, velvety character from Knockando’s 1977 14-year-old.

Palate

On the palate it glides with a luxurious, velvety texture, with raisin and fig sweetness layered with dark chocolate and dried apricot. Sherry influence brings toffee, cocoa nibs and a tempting spice of clove and cinnamon. Subtle oak tannins frame a refined middle, leading to a lingering, nutty finish with gentle warmth.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with sherried sweetness tapering into dried fruit and cocoa, echoes of orange zest and toasted almond, and a wavering trace of warm oak spice that lingers gracefully.
