Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 42 by Gavin Smith and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Nose
Gentle. Peardrops, butterscotch, a hint of lemon.
Palate
Initial apples and sherbet, hard toffee. Some woody notes ultimately predominate.
Finish
Quite short, more toffee, oak.
Comment
Knockando is always a well-mannered whisky, although this expression seems a tad tired.

Dave Broom

Nose
Malt bin, lime and orange, passion fruit, coffee ice cream becoming hugely, almost alarmingly creamy: fudge, butter.
Palate
Creaminess seems to hide. Direct and nutty with a crisp centre. Pigskin leather. Dry and malty.
Finish
Dusty.
Comment
The first clotted cream finish? Amazing freshness for this age. A great cask – quick use it again!
