Knockando Spanish Market Bottling Whisky 15 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany depth and bright copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Sherry-dripped richness floods the air: fig and prune, dried apricot, and candied orange peel weave with walnut and almond; dark chocolate and espresso hint at depth. Spices bloom—cinnamon and clove—alongside vanilla and a whisper of oak. Luxuriously warm with subtle tobacco and leather undertones.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied with a luxuriant sherried sweetness. Dried fruit, fig and prune mingle with dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted almond. Gentle spice and espresso carry through velvety oak, leaving a long, warm finish of caramel, cocoa and a final kiss of oak.

Finish

Velvety, long finish with sherry-influenced warmth. Dark fruit compote—fig, raisin, date—unfolds into toasted almond and cocoa, then a wave of orange zest and gentle spice lingers. Refined oak and a hint of tobacco balance the sweetness, leaving a polished, persistent afterglow.
