The palate is a delightful dance between sweetness and peat, where malted vanilla shake mingles with lemon meringue pie and billowing clouds of peat smoke. The finish lingers with a chewy embrace, offering hints of herbs, liquorice, honey, and medicinal notes, a testament to its age and character. With only 179 bottles available at a cask strength of 58.9% ABV, this peated Knockdhu whisky is a true gem that whisky enthusiasts won't want to miss.
