Knockando Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm copper glow and a whisper of mahogany at the rim; a sunlit, burnished hue that hints at rich sherry influence and mature elegance.

Nose

Deep, sherried nose with dark dried fruits—raisins, figs and dates—juxtaposed with toffee and cocoa. Nutty almond and walnut mingle with vanilla and orange zest, while polished oak, spice and a whisper of tobacco add elegance and depth.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied, this is Sherry-influenced, opening with dark raisins, fig and orange peel that mingle with cacao and toffee. Warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—appears through supple oak, delivering a velvety mouthfeel and a lingering, nutty finish.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with silky sherry sweetness and toasted nut notes. Dried fig and apricot unfold, weaving with cacao and gentle spice, while oak tannins lend structure. A velvety warmth lingers, tapering to a citrus zest whisper that invites another sip.
