Knockdhu 16 Year Old Ed. 63 Whisky Sponge
Whisky Sponge began life as a whisky blog (see http://whiskysponge.com) and now bottle some truly remarkable whiskies!
Cask strength on this single cask bottling of Knockdhu was around the 67%, so the Decandent Drinks crew made the call to cut it back to 55% and the whisky is all the better for it.
An unusual beast, being a heavily peated (60ppm) bottling from the typically unpeated Knockdhu distillery.
"This Knockdhu is demanding; come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough. Touché." 7/10 Knockdhu 2006 Whisky Sponge Edition No.63 — DRAMFACE
"This is a fine peater, ala Benriach, ashy, without the coastal side, and rather with notes of rubber, bicycle inner tube and all that" 82/100 Four Knockdhus (whiskyfun.com)
