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.
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.
This whisky is absolutely fantastic both on the nose and on the pallet, great balance of woody aroma and meaty oiliness. I was surprised by how well it was received by my friends who are new to whisky too. It's overall a really outstanding whisky for it's value and suitable for beginners and experienced whisky sippers.
A bloody good whisky. Supremely well balanced.
Buy it this is the best balanced whisky that you can actually buy,although,it is sweeter than you will think for a campbeltown whisky at least you can get a bottle, unlike its more harder to find siblings.One to savour
Wow, I really like this one. I’m usually a peated Islay drinker, but took a punt on this. Although very light on the peat, it’s extremely complex and just utterly delicious for the price. I’ll be getting another bottle of this the second I finish the first.
