DESCRIPTION

A permanent release from Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, though produced in limited quantities and therefore not always available. After several years of Work in Progress expressions, the standard Kilkerran 12 Year Old was first launched in 2016. Matured predominantly in a mix of 70% ex-bourbon and 30% ex-sherry casks — though proportions vary slightly between batches — this whisky showcases a lightly peated (12–15ppm), coastal Campbeltown style. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%. (Bottle size 750ml)

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Sweet confectionery with Turkish delight, pear drops and marzipan, with hints of subtle peat smoke like toasted marshmallows by a campfire.

Palate: Zesty citrus of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of Campbeltown, followed by peat smoke, leather-bound books, peppery spice and sticky toffee pudding.

Finish: Lingering peat smoke reminiscent of campfire embers, balanced by sweet notes of pecan pie and butterscotch.

"I was expecting so much from this whisky that my initial taste was somewhat disappointing. The Oaky notes were front and centre above all else. I'm not someone who really likes very strong oaky or leather notes on the nose or taste, preferring something a little more complex and strong with maybe some fruity or citrus notes. But after adding a drop (less than a tsp), and leaving it to breathe in the glass for around 20 - 30 minutes, this whisky opened up significantly and all those floral, fruity and sweet flavours made a dramatic entrance. Great value for money, well made distillate - but let it breathe in the glass for 15 minutes before climbing in."
