Patience and oak are the pillars of Knockando 18 Year Old Slow Matured, a prestigious Speyside single malt matured slowly in Sherry casks and presented here in a 700ml bottle. At 43% ABV, from the United Kingdom, this whisky is bottled only when it reaches peak maturity, delivering notes of almond and fruit cake.

Its 1-litre bottle makes an excellent reserve for collectors. Taste it neat at room temperature in a tasting glass to discover the complexity granted by the Sherry.
