Knockdhu Distillery, in the small
village of Knock , not far from the
Fergusons’ farm, has been making
whisky in the same way for more
than a century. The oak barrels
neatly aligned in the warehouse are
former bourbon and sherry casks,
shipped in to add flavour to the
whisky after the distillation process.
Distiller Fraser Legge, who has
amassed a small collection of
vintage distilling artefacts at
Knockdhu, says, “Distilling is like an
orchestra: every instrument comes
together to make the final concerto.”
