Hepburn's Choice Knockdhu 17-year-old is a single malt Scotch whisky bottled from a single cask at 46% ABV. This release was distilled in 2006 and matured for 17 years in a refill hogshead, a cask style that often lets the distillery character show more clearly than heavily active oak.
For a novice drinker, that usually means a whisky where the spirit takes centre stage rather than strong cask seasoning. Single-cask bottlings can vary from one barrel to another, but this style is often appreciated for offering a more individual snapshot of the distillery's character.
