About Knockando

Knockando is a whisky distillery. Knockando 1998 18 Year Old is an age-stated bottling at 18 years old, distilled in 1998.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1998), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Age statement

    A 18-year age statement signals extended maturation, which limits how much was ever bottled.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as Knockando 1998 18 Year Old, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
