Another fabulous release of 8 Year Old Cask Strength whisky from the Kilkerran distillery. This particular single malt was aged in Oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at a generous 56.9% ABV, so it's all smoke and spice in here!
Flamed orange peel, smoked meats, and mocha richness, with warming spices in the background.
More spices arrive, with cinnamon and candied ginger alongside fragrant smoke and crème brûlée.
Dried fruit sweetness lingers alongside peat smoke.
What a dram! Sweet funky goodnesses
Completely different beast to the 1st oloroso version. It’s like drinking a smoked treacle tart on the seashore! Bravo Kilkerran! Stunning
