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.

Oh sweet sweet love egg how noble yeast are. Coming up smelling of rises whilst raised in the poorest council estate this side of Brexit...cool ya say...not on your nelly naval
At around half the price of a Springbank 15, this is a steal. It has similarities with the Springbank 10, but some different and interesting flavours going on. Like others have noted, it needs to sit in the glass a while to fully develop, but it's very enjoyable indeed. Another fine example of the under-appreciated brilliance of Campeltown whiskies.
Smell is light smoky fruit and bready dense desert cakes, nutty like almonds and dates in there too. Sweet vanilla and sugary honey. On the tongue sweet honey fruitiness, salty and sweet fig and a salty aftertaste. Oily lasting feel
