The latest release of Kikerran 8 Year Cask Strength hails from all the way back in November of 2018. The whisky is bottled at 56.5% after maturing exclusively in ex-Bourbon casks! Kilkerran is a lightly peated, double distilled Campbeltown single malt. Its distillery, Glengyle, is the only one we know of opened out of spite (to the Scotch Whisky Association), we love that!
Producer's Tasting Note
Nose: The exquisite nose begins with a gentle hint of worn leather and pipe tobacco. Changing now to a much sweeter note with sponge cake, vanilla pods and clotted cream combining with some citrus and fruits in the form of key lime pie and green apple skins.
Palate: Good cask influence here with lots of sweetness from the bourbon casks. Golden syrup cake, banoffee pie and toasted marshmallows are just some of the desserts you could find in this dram.
Finish: The light peat becomes more apparent on the finish, along with an earthy dunnage note typical of Campbeltown whisky. This is followed by a herbal grassy note, marzipan and grape peel.
