Nose - Dark honey, sweet red berries, caramel, ripe pears & apples, raisins, hint of orange zest
Taste - Gentle ginger spice/heat/tingle, sweet red berries, ripe pear, light chocolate, light tannic/bitter black tea, hint of orange zest, dark honey
Finish - Lingering gentle ginger spice, fruity honey, sweet pear, light red berries, light tannic black tea
Score - 90/100
Final Thoughts - This is quite a nice dram. Great nose, nice balance on the tongue, great from start to finish. The tannic over steeped black tea notes are a bit distracting, but otherwise quite tasty. Good light sherry influence to add some red berries to a great honey/pear backdrop.

Would I specifically order it? - Yes

And really well priced for a 20+ yr old.
This sounds delightful. Knockdhu is an underestimated distillery.
