My first Knockdhu and it's from one of my favorite up-and-coming IBs. A surprisingly fresh & refreshing dram, a rare case where a whisky from the 2000s manage to exceed my expectations

Whiskyfun — Serge Valentin

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Whiskyfun describes a medicinal nose, with rosemary, hay smoke and modelling clay emerging after water. The oily palate brings pepper, citrus and wax, alongside some excessive bitterness and pine. Water improves the lemon and lemongrass notes; the fairly long finish is resinous and slightly bitter. Serge finds this release somewhat untidy and awarded it 82 points.
