“The 12, 16 & Heavily Peated are my new go to's now that Springbank 10, 15 & Longrow are so hard to obtain. Kilkerran's core range are just as good with that signature saltiness. The focus on quality rather than taste continuity has made slight batch variances a pleasure to discover over & over keeping each bottle rewarding in it's own right & eliminating any chance palate fatigue. ”

Description

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.

Nose

Oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.

Palate

Initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.

Finish

Velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.

Poor Man's Highland Park 18

This dram is a treat. Like the Springbank 10, it has the complexity, mouth feel and robustness but with nicely subtle touch of peat which is nicely balanced by its soft fruitiness. Great value like SB10 and unchillfiltered with no color added at 46Abv, qualifies for a Ralfy award. For me, it's a poor man's Highland Park 18. A huge compliment.

compared to Springbank 12

Bit of an update to my review 'Springbank's blond cousin'. Tasted the KK12 against Springbank 12 cask strength - and to my surprise, although there are similarities (both evidence great casks, the underlying maltiness and mouthfeel are the same) the Kilkerran is less complex and dirty, but overall actually better!

Springbank's blond cousin.

Absolutely zero peat or smoke - its either that or my sense of taste / imagination isn't as keen as other reviewers. Ditto 'saltiness' which I cant detect. Having said that - its an absolutely superb whisky, even more remarkable at the price of around £35. They have invested in some superb casks and the quality shines through with notes of lemon meringue pie / lemon cheesecake, all in balance and velvety rounded. Long complex finish that draws you back for more. I was hoping for a Springbank 12 lookalike, and actually I'm pleased that it is the same quality but has its own character. Get a bottle if you can - this will no doubt become sought after.

Wow Campbeltown never dissapoints!

This is an awesome whisky. Has that leather taste you want in a Campbeltown whisky with lemon,honey, sea salt, and a hint of cream. If you add water or ice to it it will be ruined it is at it's absolute best neat. I hope Campbeltown whisky always sticks around and gains more popularity its just so well rounded and really has every flavor that you want in your Scotch. Cheers! The Sugarbear

Treat it with respect.

I wonder if the bad reviews for this whisky are for the first glass out of the bottle? It definitely needs time to develop. The first glass I had I let it sit for around 15 minutes (year in the cask, minute in the glass) before the first sip. I was distinctly unimpressed. Added half a teaspoon of water gave it another 5 minutes. It improved a bit but I was underwhelmed after looking forward to it so much. Their were flavours they're but they seem contradictory.. The malt seemed confused. However I thought I'd give it another try and so went back to it the next day. A little air in the bottle seemed to have done it the world of good. I poured a glass and put just a few drops of water in and gave it a good half an hour. It seemed a much better whisky. Quite complex for a relatively young whisky. Springbanky but more cereal and lemon notes to my mind than SB10. But if you like SB10 you'll like this. Definitely not a whisky for the beginner and definitely needs a good while to breathe before you start sipping.
