Some nice sherry flavours can be found here, but compared to the lovely nose the palate feels rather lacklustre and a bit watery. – Rating: 82/100

An unusual Knockando sherry monster from a very active cask. There is lots going on here, but the wood is already too strong to make this a truly great one. – Rating: 86/100

This is what I would call a nice every-day dram. Not really “elaborate”, but very nice just to sip and enjoy. – Score: 81/100
