Kilkerran 12 year old
Regular price $93.00
Limit of 1 bottle per Household
After waiting for more than a dozen years there is finally a core release of Kilkerran single malt Scotch whisky from the Glengyle Distillery! Roughly translated, Kilkerran is Scots' Gaelic for “head of the lake of Saint Kieran’s cell”. The Kilkerran 12 Year Old is lightly peated (15ppm) and non-chill filtered, and has been matured in a combination of 70% bourbon casks and 30% Sherry casks.
Nose: Bright, tart citric notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, buttery biscuits as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate: Not overly viscous, you get Initial fruity with citrus notes and orange peel. Mid-palate you get vanilla sugar cookies, butterscotch, honeycomb and Lemon-lime candies.
Finish: Medium long, velvety marshmallow and smooth lemon meringue. As it fades, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness (bitterness?) that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.
