Knockdhu 10yo 1998-2008 46% The Warehouse Collection
Whiskies from Knockdhu Distillery are usually bottled under the name "an Cnoc". This one comes from a single bourbon hogshead. The color is white wine. It smells rich, spicy, butter, vanilla, honey glazed almonds, pistachio, caramel, peanut butter, syrupy, rubber, rich and sweet with a hint of tart, a sure winner in my book. The taste is butter, garlic, vanilla, heather, asparagus, tonic water, grapefruit, bittersweet, green bell peppers. This is a refreshingly simple whisky without being too spirity or oak-driven. The distillate and cask plays well together. The finish is licorice, peppery, malty, not far from the an Cnoc 12yo imho.
I was a bit worried with a diluted 10yo from an IB, now I have no worries: 6.5
Next tasting: Ardbeg Distillery
