Description
Here’s an independent bottling of Knockdhu released by Cadenhead’s that was matured in an interesting combination of 70 % ex-Madeira casks and 30 % ex-bourbon casks for added depth and complexity. Like all Cadenhead’s expressions, the whisky is non-chill filtered with no added colouring.
About Knockdhu Distillery
The Knockdhu distillery is located in Knock, Banffshire and is owned by Inver House Distillers Limited. Established in 1894, it’s one of Scotland’s smallest whisky distilleries. The distillery draws its water from burns on the nearby Knock Hill with a production capacity of 1.5 million litres a year. Independent bottlings from the site are far and few between with Knockdhu whisky used as a core blending component in the Inver House Blends.
Interesting Fact
Due to confusion with the similarly named Knockando distillery, the whisky now produced by Knockdhu is sold under the name ‘AcCnoc’ although they do use the name Knockdhu from time to time adding to the confusion.
