Knockando Pure Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

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

Nose

Rich, elegant sherry aroma with dried fig, raisin, and orange zest. Cherry and honeyed vanilla weave through toasted almond and walnut notes, while warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—add complexity. Subtle oak and a creamy undertone round the bouquet, hinting at tender Speyside balance and well-integrated cask influence.

Palate

Silky on the palate, a gentle honeyed vanilla sweetness unfolds into dried fruit and fig from the sherry cask. Nutty almond and dark cocoa mingle with red apple and orange zest, while warm spice and subtle oak confer a refined, lingering finish.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with warming sherry sweetness lingering over polished oak. Dried-fruit notes of raisin and fig give way to cocoa and a hint of coffee, then drift into a soft spice that lingers on the palate, leaving a refined, persistent warmth.
