Knockdhu 10 Year Old – Cadenhead's Original Collection (2024)

Knockdhu 10 Year Old – Cadenhead's Original Collection

This Knockdhu 10-year-old was bottled in 2024 by Cadenhead's for their Original Collection . Knockdhu is best known as the distillery behind anCnoc , but these independent bottlings, which often have a slightly purer and less polished profile , appear under the Knockdhu name.

Maturation took place in bourbon casks with a fino sherry finish , resulting in a fresh and dry style. The nose reveals green apple, citrus, malt, and light floral notes , followed by a subtle nutty touch. On the palate, this whisky is dry and taut , with lemon peel, white grapes, a hint of almond, and a delicate spiciness . The 46% alcohol content provides ample structure without disrupting the fresh character. The finish is dry, medium-length, and elegant , with a mineral note typical of the fino influence.

This isn't a sweet or heavy sherry whisky, but a fresh, modern Speyside with added depth. Ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate dry, clean styles and are looking for something different than the classic bourbon-only expression.
