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.

Super whisky I really recommend!!!
One week after opening, and five drams in, this whisky is getting better every day. The balance between bourbon and sherry is as perfect as it gets. And oh god! The pepper on the nose and the palate is just sublime. The best quality whisky at 35quid?
Glad to see the first 12yo of the revived Glengyle malt. This is like Longrow in a velvet glove. I loved both the bourbon and sherry versions of the 7th release but this is really a great culmination. Will buy it again and eagerly keep following the progress.
If you like Springbank whiskies-buy it.You will not be disappointed.
Sorry Kevin, my palate doesn't rate with yours, I was unsure if the peat was 6ppm or 7, however you've solved that issue for me., 5ppm it is. Other than that I found the bottle well designed, with the outlet at the top and the base at the bottom, the label was on the outside (just in case it distorts the 5ppm flavour) and it came with a cork to stop it leaking. All in all it proved to be just what I thought it wood (little humour there), oakay (there I go again) for me it tasted remarkably like good Scottish Whisky, but then what would I know? (Between you and I, I thought it was more like 5.6ppm).
