Origin : Scotland

NEW whisky KNOCKANDO aged 25 years.

From Knockando, an active distillery on Speyside: this is a first limited release in this series, from first fill ex-sherry European Oak casks. It reveals a most unusual, richly flavoured expression. Caution: fewer than 4,800 individually numbered bottles worldwide... !

In summary a very unusual, rich and deep-flavoured expression of Knockando that is extremely complex and intriguing, bottled in 2011. Superbly balanced, Knockando 25 years drying yet with residual malty sweetness: a broad array of magnificent ex-sherry cask notes make an opulent apéritif, appetising with hard, sharp cheeses.

From specialist retailers only: Territoire Whisky.fr / Land of Whisky of course!

Nosing

With the nose :

Deeply intriguing; rich and immediate, with no prickle. Dry Christmas cake, with slightly burnt edges, then a hard toffee note. Dry Oloroso sherry. Persistent, becoming more succulent; dried fruits macerated in liquor. Bitter-tinged traces of crystalline sugar, creamy wood oil. Fresh strawberries, and raisins! Water introduces more burnt notes, with chocolate, underscored by porcini and sage. Finally sweeter, with juicy-fruit gum.

with the mouth :

Body: Medium. Lighter than expected
Palate: Mouth-drying and surprisingly harmonious. A sweet start (fresh, ripe grapes and citrus pith), then immediately drying, with distant smoke. Briefly and enjoyably spirity, with masses of dry cocoa; then sweeter, with aged plum pudding. Water makes things milder, smoother and sweeter, reducing the initial dryness. More cocoa and cedar-wood; autumn fruits; burnt croissant

final taste :

Long and warming. Espresso coffee, with a distant hint of struck matches. Glorious late, winey notes accompany drying tannins. Soft caramel, cleansing tart red fruit. Water removes the struck matches and stirs dark chocolate in the aftertaste.
