Description
Founded by John Thomson in 1896, Knockando distillery owns the sole rights to tap the Cardnach spring before it reaches the Spey. In 1904, the distillery was purchased by London gin giants, W&A Gilbey, who utilised Knockando's pale, golden coloured malt in their signature blend, J&B. Loosely translated from the Gaelic for 'little black hill', Knockando's distillery, which is simply named after the village in which it stands, is a wonderfully creamy single malt from the Speyside region. This bottling was distilled in 1999 and aged for 15 years before being bottled at 43% ABV. [cite: Scotch Whisky Auctions, 4, 6, 7, 13]
