I find it quite hard to believe that I’ve only tried 3 Knockando so far and the last one was already six years ago. Anyway, I’m willing to give it another try with this old release from Knockando 1975…

They Inspired is a series of single cask releases by Michiel Wigman with some well and lesser known historical figures on the rather sober labels. This Secret Orkney from 1999 is obviously Highland Park…
