Knockando 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Knockando 12 Year Old is a classic Speyside single malt known for its gentle, natural style. The distillery bottles each vintage separately rather than blending across years, so the whisky always reflects the character of a single season’s production. It’s matured primarily in ex‑bourbon casks, giving it a light, clean profile with soft fruit and malt notes. Its aroma shows fresh orchard fruit, vanilla, soft malt and a touch of almond. On the palate, it offers a smooth, delicate texture with notes of apple, pear, cereal sweetness, light oak and a hint of spice. The finish is clean, gently sweet and crisp, making it an easygoing Speyside malt ideal for those who enjoy subtle, elegant whisky. The name 'knockando' means 'Little black hill' in Gaelic. Knockando is bottled one season at a time, so you will see the distilled date on the label.

Peats Beast Cask Strength 52.1%

This is the cask strength version of Peat's Beast which is more intense and a bit of a handul. On the nose is has honey notes with vanilla spice, then the peat smoke comes in, back by sea spray and charcoal. The palate is powerful to start then revealing, banana , treacle and mocha backed by a spicy finale of ginger and cinnamon and the ever growing smokiness.
