The Knockando 1994 Sherry & Bourbon is a 21-year-old single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the renowned Speyside region. Distilled in 1994 and meticulously aged until its bottling in 2020, this exquisite whisky embodies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Knockando Distillery. With an ABV of 43% and presented in a 700 ml bottle, it showcases a harmonious blend of whiskies aged in both old sherry casks and first and second fill bourbon casks. The youngest whisky in this blend is 21 years old, providing an exceptional "age/price" ratio that is sure to impress aficionados and casual drinkers alike.
On the nose, this single malt delights with a spicy and woody aroma, intermingled with subtle fruity notes, particularly pear, along with hints of raisin and cocoa. The palate greets you with a soft, inviting attack, featuring the roundness of cake dough, caramel, sultana, and sweet liquorice. This whisky is a testament to Knockando's dedication to using high-quality casks, resulting in a well-rounded and flavorful experience. The dual influence of sherry and bourbon casks imparts a depth and complexity that makes this whisky a must-try for enthusiasts.
