Knockando 12 Year

oude kaas. vanille.

This is a wonderful whisky, and the sherry cask is pleasantly prominent if that's your thing. Lemons, peaches and slightly toasted barley are evident on the nose, while the palate is medium-bodied with touches of chocolate and nutmeg. The finish is a little short yet pleasant - I really think this scotch would have benefited from a higher ABV. Worth the try!

Nose: this is a spirit driven nose with lemon, nuts and cleaning detergent (I know that sounds horrible but the nose reminds me of something I used for cleaning my kitchen). On the palate you find floral and fruity notes, citrus, some oak and marzipan. The finish a light and easy going but with a unpleasant bitterness. This a decent dram with a fair prize tag but it is simply a little boring for me, despite the nutty character. (74/100)

Nah... I thought I had some derivative NAS version of this whisky... but that doesn't exist, no this was dull and boring.
