Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery hues and a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Fresh orchard fruit and honeyed barley rise with vanilla and polished oak. A delicate sherry warmth threads through, revealing dried fig and raisin, a touch of cocoa, and soft spice. A hint of lemon zest keeps the nose bright and elegant, inviting another inhale of malt and fruit.

Palate

Sherried, velvety palate with dark plum and raisin unfolding into orange zest and baked apple. Rich toffee and milk chocolate drift alongside honeyed fruit, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—lends a festive edge. Nutty almond and toasted oak provide gentle structure. Long finish, drying into dried fruit with a refined, caramel-kissed sweetness.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish unfurls a warm sherry-cask glow, with raisin, orange zest and toffee intertwined with dark chocolate and gentle spice, fading to polished oak and nut and a refined, lingering dryness.

Knockdhu
(nock-DOO) Knockdhu is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery at Knock in Banffshire, close to the eastern edge of Speyside. It opened in 1894 after founder John Morrison identified the site’s advantages, including local spring water from Knock Hill, nearby barley-growing land, peat and access to the Great North of Scotland Railway.
