About GreatDrams Knockdhu

This Knockdhu 8 Year Old has been matured wholly in one single First Fill Oloroso Hogshead. This has given it not only an excellent colour, but also a big, meaty flavour profile. It's as fruity as it is spicy, as warming as it is smooth and as gorgeous as any sherry cask can be. A special drop from GreatDrams!

The Knockdhu Distillery is a curious juxtaposition of old and new; stainless steel Lauter tuns, wooden washbacks and the use of worm tubs as condensers. Knockdhu, one of the hidden gems of Speyside, was actually shut down between 1983 and 1988 during the last whisky crash, but is now producing again.
