Built in 1898 near the Cardnach spring in Speyside, the Knockando distillery owes its name to the Gaelic term Cnoc-an-dhu, i.e. small black hill. The pure water of this source is one of the distinctive features of these Scotch Whiskies and Single Malts which are aged according to a vintage method, i.e. without a specific date, but examining whether each individual case has reached the right degree of ripeness or not.
After the last modernization, which has not touched the splendid Victorian aesthetic of the distillery, 4 stills are active, assigned to production.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
