12-year-old Kilkerran single malt from Campbeltown's Glengyle Distillery, which reopened back in 2004. The Kilkerran 12 Year Old is lightly peated and non-chill filtered, and has been matured in a classic combination of bourbon casks sherry casks.
Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.

Blimey....this is yummy!
Nice Campbeltown flavour, then you get the mild, peaty kick. Excellent value. Almost as good as Springbank 10. I've been telling all of my whisky drinking friends about Kilkerran. I'm glad I took a punt on it.
For a whisky of this age, and at this price, it really delivers. Light peat smoke with a salty caramel edge and that oily mouth feel, absolutely delicious!! This is, in my opinion, still an underrated whisky. I'm sure its reputation will grow over time, but the fact that you already have to hunt around for a bottle is very telling. Really good quality whisky, definitely a worth while purchase. I'm excited about what the future will bring from the Glengyle distillery, they clearly know what they're doing when it comes to quality whisky.
Acquired 12 to keep my 8yr company. Didn’t disappoint- the finish is as advertised. Tough to find here, second bottle on its way
Great for trying to get into lightly peated whisky. I would definitely have this again
