Knockdhu 17 Year Old 2006 - Hepburn's Choice (Langside)
Knockdhu
Tasting Notes
A tantalizing aroma greets the senses, unveiling a harmonious blend of zesty grapefruit peel, peppery spice, and the comforting notes of toffee and stone fruit, underscored by a malty backbone. As the liquid caresses the palate, a delightful symphony unfolds, featuring the tangy richness of lemon tart, warming cinnamon spice, and the sweet indulgence of tinned apricots, all balanced by the nutty embrace of honeyed nuts. The finish lingers, offering a long and spicy farewell, reminiscent of the journey that led to this exquisite single malt's creation. Crafted from a 2006 vintage, this Knockdhu expression spent 17 years maturing in a single refill hogshead cask, yielding a mere 360 precious bottles at a robust 46% ABV, each one a testament to the art of patient whisky-making.
