The story of the Knockdhu distillery, and the outstanding whisky it produces, were brought to life by a man of vision.  The discovery of pure water springs on nearby Knock Hill, coupled with a landscape rich in peat and barley and the nearby Great North of Scotland railway line, presented a golden opportunity to John Morrison, who purchased the Knock estate in 1892.

The whisky-making process is a source of pride for our celebrated distillery team, led by Distillery Manager Gordon Bruce, and known locally as the ‘Men of Knock’. The worldwide popularity and acclaim anCnoc enjoys is testament to their passionate pursuit of perfection. Still brought to life using time-honoured production methods, anCnoc forges an irresistible bond between its long-established roots and the modern-day whisky enthusiast
