Knockando Sherry Cask Whisky 18 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a copper-bronze glow.

Nose

Opulent sherried aroma with ripe dark fruits at the core—prune, fig and raisin—woven with sweet toffee, caramel and orange zest. Rich cocoa and baking spices mingle with toasted almond and polished oak, a whisper of leather adding old-world charm. At once forward and refined, the 1989 cask lends a luxurious, velvety perfume that beckons the palate.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Knockando coats the palate with rich sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and orange zest—balanced by toasted almond, cocoa and a kiss of coffee. Spiced oak lingers, delivering warmth, caramel and a restrained hint of cinnamon long into the finish.

Finish

Silky, long finish with pronounced sherry sweetness; ripe fig and raisin mingle with cocoa, orange zest and toasted spice, fading to warm oak and a refined hint of leather.
