Cost
anCnoc whiskies (pronounced "a-nock") are produced at the Knockdhu Distillery, founded by John Morrison in 1892, at the Knock estate in Aberdeenshire. This 18 year old whisky is aged in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon oak casks. It is un-chill filtered with no additional coloring, so may get cloudy with water or if kept in cold temperatures.

Tasting Notes
"This is not quite as creamy as their 12 Year, however the flavor is more robust. Tangy berries and nuts get some residual smokiness from the bourbon oak. Toffee richness, orange peel and leather rounds it out. Perfect for fans of sherried whiskies who enjoy a more subtle approach."
