Portrait: What makes the Knockando 18 year old special
The Knockando 18 year old is an elegant single malt whisky from the Scottish Speyside, a region known for its particularly balanced and approachable whiskies. The Knockando distillery, whose name comes from the Gaelic and means "little black hill," was founded in 1898 and is idyllically situated on the banks of the River Spey. Since then, it has stood for traditional production methods, craftsmanship, and a restrained, natural style. This 18-year-old bottling is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. This double cask maturation gives the whisky additional depth and balanced complexity. Each cask is carefully selected to preserve the harmony of flavors over the long maturation period.
The Knockando 18 year old is a mature, balanced bottling that appeals to connoisseurs and elegantly embodies the classic Speyside profile - without artificial additives and with a focus on naturalness and maturity.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Knockando 18 year old tastes like
- Nose: Warm porridge with honey and raisins forms the inviting base - behind it, rich, nutty aromas and a fruity depth with hints of blackcurrant unfold.
- Palate: Fresh barley meets a fruity compote, in which strawberries stand out - roasted almonds provide a pleasant sweetness and nutty warmth in the mouthfeel.
- Finish: Long and complex - notes of orange peel, dark chocolate, and old leather fade away slowly, giving the finish a noble maturity and Depth

Für meinen Geschmack ein sehr gepflegter und zivilisierter Whisky, passt sehr gut zu ruhigeren Abenden. Ausgewogen rauchig und süß (wobei ich persönlich eigentlich keine Süße brauche), nicht aufdringlich, aber sehr lang schmeckend. Man merkt ihm deutlich die Reife an. Vom Charakter finde ich z.B. den Ardbeg Uigeadail oder den Lagavulin 16 prägnanter, was mir besser gefällt, aber der Knockando 18 ist ein rundum guter Whisky, mit dem man nichts falsch machen kann.
