- Description
- Knockando's 1972 vintage, matured for 12 years and bottled in 1984, represents the distillery during an era of lighter, more delicate Speyside production styles. At 40% ABV from distillery bottling, this expression showcases the fruit-forward character Knockando built its reputation on, with minimal heavy intervention. The relatively short maturation preserves youthful spirit character while allowing sufficient cask integration. A window into classical 1980s Speyside bottling practices and the distillery's refined approach to single malt.
