Knockando Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and warm copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Rich sherry envelops ripe fruit—fig, raisin and plum—blended with almond, vanilla and toffee. Subtle orange zest and cocoa lift the aroma, while polished oak adds a refined, nutty warmth characteristic of a 12-year Speyside maturation.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied palate with dried fruit and orange zest leading the way, notes of raisin, fig and almond unfolding into rich toffee and cocoa. Sherry influence sweetens and rounds the oak, while subtle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—adds depth. Balanced acidity carries the fruit, finishing warm and long with dark chocolate, orange peel and a gentle, malted oak glow.

Finish

Elegant and persistent, the finish reveals refined sherry sweetness—dates, figs and toasted almond—layered with orange zest and a hint of cocoa. Subtle oak spice lingers, warming the palate long after the sip, tapering to a polished, silky fade.
