A fantastic entry into whisky from Kilkerran

Lightly peated and non-chill filtered, the Kilkerran 12 Year Old has been matured in a combination of 70% bourbon casks and 30% Sherry casks. On the nose oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat. The palate is initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed. The finish is velvety and smooth with an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
