This is an exclusive yearly offering of cask strength Kilkerran single malt, hailing from the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown. For this particular release, the whisky underwent an eight-year maturation period in a bourbon cask. It has been bottled at a robust 55.8% ABV, with no added colorants or chill filtration, preserving its natural qualities and bold character.
Tasting Note by Kilkerran:
Nose: This dram begins with a floral note that is reminiscent of elderflower and heather. There are hints of custard cream, vanilla, and a sweet note resembling foam bananas.
Palate: There are first flavours of cocoa nibs and Iberico ham along with a smoky, earthy peat influence. Hints of pineapple and coconut signal the development of a tropical tone.
Finish: A delicious biscuit note accompanies the lingering peat smoke in the finish.
