Description
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. 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 spirit enters the palate initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, followed by hints of vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb, and digestive biscuits. It has a velvety smooth finish with lemon meringue. To conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
