Knockando 12YO Coffret+Glasses Giftpk 700ml

Only natural ingredients are used - malted barley, yeast and crystal clear spring water from the Cardnach spring, which lies in the hills above the distillery. The quantity of peat used in malting the barley is carefully controlled so as not to overbalance the taste of the final product and the proportion of sherry casks used is restricted so as to not dominate the taste of the whisky. The pale, golden colour of Knockando is entirely natural. It is derived solely from the casks in which it has matured - casks held together without nails or glue. No colouring is ever added - it is for this reason that the depth of the colour in successive bottlings may vary. Time is another key element, as gentle maturation in oak casks slowly reveal the subtle aromas: delicate with a distinctive fresh almond note in its younger versions, it gains weight and depth of flavour over the years. The final result is a subtle, fruity single malt which bears all the hall marks of the finest Speyside malts. Tasting Notes: Smooth, complex layers of flowery, nutty, slightly smoky notes. Strength: 40% ABV Appearance: Pale gold. Nose: Sweet and aromatic, with light nutty notes. Body: Light and smooth - a little "creamy". Palate: Delicate, soft and fruity with a hint of almonds.
