The distillery say 'Knockando possesses the classic elegance and complexity of the finest Speyside malts, with a unique delicacy and fruitiness. 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.
Meticulously aged for 12 years, Knockando 12 Year Old showcases the expertise and passion that have made this distillery a renowned name in the whisky world. The pale, golden colour of Knockando single malt whisky is entirely natural and derived solely from the casks in which it has matured – casks held together without nails or glue. So I decided I needed to sample some more Knockando and enjoyed it so much I actually got quite inebriated and started singing in the worst Scottish accent imaginable, I think I ended up getting asked to leave the pub by a rather burly bearded barman in a kilt, I stumbled home, stopping on the way at a takeaway to purchase a kebab with chilli sauce, which ended up in the gutter as being a bit worse for wear I had lost a lot of my hand/eye coordination and any sense of balance had also diminished.On the palate, the flavours unfold gracefully, revealing layers of smooth toffee, toasted almonds, and gentle spices.

The name Knockando comes from the Gaelic `Cnoc-an-dhu`, meaning `little black hill`, which is thought to be a reference to the hills which lie in-between the site of the distillery.
