Description
Founded by John Thomson in 1896, Knockando distillery owns the sole rights to tap the Cardnach spring before it reaches the Spey. In 1904, the distillery was purchased by London gin giants, W&A Gilbey, who utilised Knockando's pale, golden coloured malt in their signature blend, J&B. Loosely translated from the Gaelic for 'little black hill', Knockando's distillery, which is simply named after the village in which it stands, is renowned for its single malt Scotch whisky production within the Speyside region. This particular expression, the Knockando 1968 Extra Old Reserve, was distilled in 1968, the year the floor maltings were decommissioned at the distillery, and bottled in 1992.
