Single Cask Nation Knockdhu 10 Year Old 2014 #170318 is a limited Highland single malt distilled in October 2014 at Knockdhu Distillery, home of anCnoc whisky, and independently bottled by Single Cask Nation in autumn 2025. This distinctive expression spent seven years maturing in a first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead, developing rich layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, caramelized sugar, and warming oak spice. Bottled at a robust 58.0% ABV, with only 285 bottles produced, it combines Knockdhu's bright, malty character with the concentrated sweetness and complexity of extended PX cask maturation.

Nose: Indicative aromas of raisins, dates, toffee, cocoa, and toasted almonds, accompanied by gentle oak spice.

Palate: Indicative flavours of dried figs, dark chocolate, caramelized sugar, roasted nuts, and honeyed malt, balanced by warming cinnamon and oak.
