Cask Strength Single Cask

A Knockdhu single malt from the Infrequent Flyers series, this 8 year old was distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2021 from a first fill ex-bourbon cask as a high-strength single cask release. Bottled at 58.9% ABV, the edition was limited to 210 bottles.

First fill ex-bourbon maturation brings forward vanilla sweetness, honeyed cereal and soft spice, adding depth and structure to Knockdhu’s smooth Highland character while letting the distillery’s naturally light, floral and malt-driven profile remain prominent.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Bright golden amber with a honeyed, sunlit glow.

Nose

Vanilla sweetness and honeyed cereals take the lead, tempered by soft spice. A light, floral, malt-driven profile emerges, with creamy grain and a whisper of bourbon-cask warmth that adds depth while keeping Knockdhu’s delicate Highland character shining through.

Palate

Vanilla sweetness and honeyed cereal dominate the palate, opening gently to soft spice that blooms amid a light, floral malt framework. The first-fill bourbon impact lends a creamy oak echo, delivering a concentrated, warming finish that stays true to Knockdhu’s smooth Highland character.

Finish

Silky, long finish lingers with vanilla and honeyed cereal, rising to soft spice. First-fill bourbon adds warm oak depth while Knockdhu’s floral malt remains bright and refined. A final citrus zest fades into lingering sweetness, with a subtle, peppery tingle from the high strength.
