Its production – rapid mashing, short fermentation and quick distillation – is designed to produce a light nutty\/malty character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/media.scotchwhisky.com\/images\/media\/bc4a55fd4d7b3318aeec99e5e0262816.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/media.scotchwhisky.com\/images\/media\/42d0358cf22bfec4d16dd288f857dac2.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/media.scotchwhisky.com\/images\/media\/cf605b3bcf3d8d66201e195f23ee37f3.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery was built during the last of the three phases of distillery construction in the 19th century by John Thompson \u0026amp; Co, but like many built at this time, the distillery struggled and was bought by W \u0026amp; A Gilbey in 1904 for £3,500 as part of the London-based gin distiller’s expansion into whisky blending (it had bought Glen Spey in 1885 and Strathmill in 1895).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt then became part of IDV in 1962 which transferred the licence to its Justerini \u0026amp; Brooks whisky division.

Following IDV’s merger with United Distillers it became part of Diageo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it remains a central player within J\u0026amp;B, Knockando has some pedigree as a single malt, mainly at 12-years-old, and was unusual in its habit of stating both the season and years of distillation and bottling date. It remains a good seller in France and some line extensions have been added in recent years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e40% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knockando","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52788461666642,"sku":"5010103802291b","price":215.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4755293131.jpg?v=1771947374","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/knockando-1982-pure-single-malt-justerini-brooks-bottling-1996-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
