KILKERRAN 12 YEAR SINGLE MALT SCOTCH

Region: Speyside, Scotland

What's so Special: After 12 years and a bundle of Work In Progress bottlings, the first core release of single malt Scotch whisky from the Glengyle Distillery after reopening in 2004 is ready! The Kilkerran 12 Year Old is lightly peated and non-chill filtered, and has been matured in a combination of 70% bourbon casks and 30% Sherry casks.

Tastes Like: 

Nose: Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallow and dried fruit, as well as cherry, marzipan and a hint of peat.

Palate: Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and biscuit. The peatiness remains, but only in passing.

Finish: Velvety and smooth with lemon meringue and the oiliness and saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
