In English this translates as ‘Knockdhu’, and should not be confused with the Knockando Distillery. Tasting note: Colour: Pale gold. Nose: Very aromatic, smooth, fruity. Pineapple? Body: Light but very smooth. Palate: Smooth, creamy, vanilla notes. Very soft note of fruit. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Finish: Creamy, oaty. Sweet herbs. House style: Creamy and fruity.
