Kilkerran 8 Year Old Cask Strength – Bourbon Cask Matured
This is an exclusive yearly offering of cask strength Kilkerran single malt, hailing from the Glengyle distillery in Campbeltown. For this particular release, the whisky underwent an eight-year maturation period in a bourbon cask. It has been bottled at a robust 55.8% ABV, with no added colorants or chill filtration, preserving its natural qualities and bold character.
Tasting Note by Kilkerran:
Nose: This dram begins with a floral note that is reminiscent of elderflower and heather. There are hints of custard cream, vanilla, and a sweet note resembling foam bananas.
Palate: There are first flavours of cocoa nibs and Iberico ham along with a smoky, earthy peat influence. Hints of pineapple and coconut signal the development of a tropical tone.
Finish: A delicious biscuit note accompanies the lingering peat smoke in the finish.
