KNOCKANDO KNOCKANDO 1974-1986 OB 43%
The aroma has a pleasant old feel, with dried apricot, apple jam, caramel, cinnamon, rich malt, and a faint peat in the background. When drinking, it has a soft mouthfeel with some old characteristics but no harshness, gentle sweetness of apricot or apple jam, a maltiness that lingers on the tongue, and a hint of mar (malt) nuance in the finish. [Good/Very Good]
Bottled in 1986, about 30 years ago, KNOCKANDO 1974 has aged for approximately 12 years. Compared to the tall bottle from the same distillery distilled in the 1960s, it lacks a bold, floral fruity character but has a strong sense of concentrated fruitiness. The flavor is more intense than the alcohol content suggests, with a refined old-bottle texture that lingers on the tongue. It also has a slightly old mar (malt) nuance at the end, making it interesting and delicious. #KNOCKANDO (KNOCKANDO)
