Knockando 1975-1988 Original Bottling 43% Liter Bottle
The aroma features orange marmalade, plum jam, deep barley notes, black tea, and a subtle sherry influence with a delicate finish.
On the palate, it offers a soft mouthfeel with dried orange characteristics, a touch of barley umami, gentle sweetness, a hint of sesame, and a tightening oak finish.
[Good/Very Good]
This official bottling was released in 1975 and 1988.
Additionally, I have never encountered a liter bottle with this label before.
Although aged for approximately 13 years, the 28-year maturation in bottle contributed to a concentrated, diverse fruitiness with tea-like nuances. The well-developed barley depth left a strong impression.
While the drink exhibits some dryness, the barley umami remains evident with sufficient body and satisfaction.
Knockando often displays a diverse, intoxicating fruitiness when it reaches maturity through bottle aging. This bottling hinted at that characteristic.
Ideal for the early stages of a dram.
